Overview

Semgit is an experiment in augmenting git commit messages with temporary keywords.

This might primarily be useful in the context of needing to keep track of customizations of production code, to relatively easily prepare that code base for future upgrades.

Installation

To install semgit you will need Guile 2.0 or later. At present all other dependencies come bundled.

After cloning this repository you will need to update your GUILE_LOAD_PATH environment variable: $ export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=${path/to/semgit/repository}:${GUILE_LOAD_PATH}

You can then add the git-sem script to your PATH, e.g. by symlinking it into one of your bin directories.

Usage

Documentation is still relatively sparse, but running $ git sem –help Should get you started.

The basic workflow is as follows:

$ git checkout -b $topic-branch # Create a new topic branch

$ git sem tag -t # Tag all commits in topic branch

$ git sem tidy # Remove all temporary gitsem branches.
