This week I released hub, a command line script which adds GitHub
knowledge to a few git
subcommands.
For example, clone
:
$ hub clone cytzol/cope
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/chris/cope/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 415, done.
... etc ...
Because hub
only adds functionality, it’s safe to alias to git
in
your shell:
$ alias git=hub
$ git clone citizen428/ClojureX
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/chris/ClojureX/.git/
remote: Counting objects: 89, done.
... etc ...
The simplest way to install it is by pulling down the script and
sticking it in your $PATH
:
curl -s http://defunkt.github.com/hub/standalone > ~/bin/hub && chmod 755 !#:4
For more information, see the README or the man page.
Oh, and here’s the list of enhanced subcommands.
$ git clone schacon/ticgit
> git clone git://github.com/schacon/ticgit.git
$ git clone -p schacon/ticgit
> git clone git@github.com:schacon/ticgit.git
$ git clone resque
> git clone git://github.com/YOUR_USER/resque.git
$ git clone -p resque
> git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USER/resque.git
$ git remote add rtomayko
> git remote add rtomayko git://github.com/rtomayko/CURRENT_REPO.git
$ git remote add -p rtomayko
> git remote add rtomayko git@github.com:rtomayko/CURRENT_REPO.git
$ git init -g
> git init
> git remote add origin git@github.com:YOUR_USER/REPO.git
$ git help
> (improved git help)
$ git help hub
> (hub man page)
Enjoy, and please contribute!
Update: hub
requires Ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7 or 1.9.1.
