Pair_with

Github has added support for pair programming via commit messages.

This repository makes it muuuch simpler to use this new functionality. Here's how you use it after installation:

1. Type pair_with AnilRedshift in the terminal (replace AnilRedshift with the person you're pairing with)
2. Work on your codebase with your pair (me in this case!)
3. Commit your code as normal.
4. Note that Co-authored-by Anil Kulkarni <anilredshift@users.noreply.github.com> Has been added to your git commit message!
5. Rejoice!

Installation

1. Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/AnilRedshift/github-pair-commit.git
2. Open your terminal and cd into github-pair-commit
3. run ./setup.sh
4. Open a new terminal (or source your environment)
5. Go to all existing git repositories and type git init

Usage

The commit script works by setting $GIT_PAIR_NAME and GIT_PAIR_EMAIL as environment variables.

You can automatically set these by typing pair_with {github user name} When you're done pairing, simply type work_solo
