These scripts are helpers for managing developer workflow when using git repos hosted on GitHub. Install as a rubygem and they can be run as standard git commands like git about.
$ gem install pivotal_git_scripts
$ cd /usr/local/bin && curl -L http://github.com/pivotal/git_scripts/tarball/master | gunzip | tar xvf - --strip=2
git about shows settings set by git pair and git project
$ git pair js sp
user.name=Josh Susser & Sam Pierson
[email protected]
Use git pair to set the git config user info that sets the commit user metadata. You'll need to create a .pairs config file to map initials to names and email ids. The example file:
# .pairs - configuration for 'git pair'
# place in project or home directory
pairs:
eh: Edward Hieatt
js: Josh Susser; jsusser
sf: Serguei Filimonov; serguei
email:
prefix: pair
domain: pivotallabs.com
#global: true
You can put the .pairs file in your project repo root directory and check it into git, or you can put it in your ~ directory so it's available to all projects on the workstation.
By default this command affects the configuration in the current project (.git/config). Use the --global option or add 'global: true' to your pairs file to set the global git configuration for all projects (~/.gitconfig).
$ git project pivots
This script sets the user account you will use to access repos hosted on github.com. It creates a symlink from id_github_current to id_github_pivotal<project>, which switches the SSH key you are currently using to access GitHub repos. Make sure you have the following lines in your .ssh/config file:
Host github.com
User git
IdentityFile /Users/pivotal/.ssh/id_github_current
