Git related utilities for Who's On First Data

Important

This is still very much a work in progress. Depending on when you read these words the code included here might be wonky or even completely broken. It should work as of this writing but I bet you could find a way to make things get weird if you wanted to. Good times.

Install

install.sh /path/to/your/whosonfirst-data-repo

Git hooks

pre-commit

Validate and format documents before commiting them, updating the relevant placetype-specific meta files along the way.

post-commit

This is the part that will append the updated files (exported WOF documents and meta files) to the current commit. Because Git and because trying to find a clever-er solution to the problem began to grow yak-hair, like a Wookie. If someone knows a better way to do this please let us know.

Example

Please write me.
