embark-vc 🚀

Some glue between embark and a number of version control packages. As it’s (currently) quite simple, there’s not much to document. As that changes, so will this.

Currently provides targets and actions for:

• Magit (forge)
• smerge-mode
• code-review

All of which are considered dependencies, but as the package grows they will become optional (if I did that now, it wouldn’t do anything!)

Terminology

In the context of Magit, Issues and Pull Requests are both marked as “topics”, and are referred to as such in the codebase to denote actions that apply to both. For example, setting the title of an Issue or a Pull Request is fundamentally the same operation, however Issues can’t be merged.

So the “topic” actions are defined as actions that would apply to both Issues and Pull Requests, with both also having their own set of actions to act on.

Install

Keymaps

Currently all it really does is create some targets and add some wrapped verisons of existing functions.
