GitExt: Git extra commands

Intro

This application helps to extend base GIT API. It extends:

• git flow
• git tag

Installation

Installation by using global scope

Get package via composer:

$ composer global require rikby/gitext ^0.10

And install commands into your local git:

$ gitext install

or

$ bash ~/.composer/vendor/bin/gitext install

Installation through create-project

$ composer create-project rikby/gitext ./gitext ^0.10

And install commands into your local git:

$ php ./gitext/bin/gitext install

Inside

Please take a look command files which use for installation in list.

Commands Using

Sort tags

$ git tags

Sorting Git tags using PHP function version_compare().

Increment tag using semver tool

SemVer must be installed.

(You may try to use this gist to make quick install node+npm in GitBash.)

For example we need to add new build/pre-release

# show tag sorted by semver
$ semver $(git tag)
v1.0.1
[...]
v1.2.0-alpha.5

$ git tag-semver --increment prerelease
New tag: v1.2.0-alpha.1

$ semver $(git tag)
v1.0.1
[...]
v1.2.0-alpha.5
v1.2.0-alpha.6

Sorting Git tags according to semantic versioning.

Actually it uses PHP function version_compare() but seem it works in the same way.

There is no tag name validation.

GitFlow settings for super feature branch

It can be used for using your "super" issue key in GitFlow. When you can start feature for a sub-task completely using git-flow.

In this case "develop" is a "super" issue branch instead of "right" develop.

So, there are two modes:

• DEFAULT

feature prefix = feature/
develop branch = develop

• ROOT FEATURE

feature prefix = feature/super-
develop branch = feature/super

GitFlow settings for multi composer repository

git flow-namespace

Only for multi composer repository repository.

Define GitFlow settings based upon branch namespace.

A namespace will be set automatically by branch name.

You may add post-checkout Git hook.

printf "#!""/usr/bin/env bash\n git flow-namespace $@" > $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.git/hooks/post-checkout

.git/hooks/post-checkout file content:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
git flow-namespace $@

Environment variables

• GITEXT_SEMVER_BIN - variable for custom path to semver binary file.
• GITEXT_GIT_BIN - variable for custom path to git binary file.
• GITEXT_PHP_BIN - variable for custom path to php binary file.

User GIT commands

You may create your own commands. Here is an example.

Create file ~/.gitext/git-hello-there.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# CMD: git hello-there
# DESCR: Some test command.

# you may include some file GitExt files
# . $(gitext source)/shell/lib/git.sh

echo Hello there

Check it in commands list:

$ gitext install --help
[...]
   git hello-there        Some test command.

Install and test:

$ gitext install

$ git hello-there
Hello there
