Surely you’ve seen the new GitHub gem features? Well it just got more awesome – again! Now you can use it in place of the normal @git@ binary.
$ github branch * master
Every @git@ command will fall through.
But that’s not all – we’ve also added a nice shorthand alias: @gh@
$ gh status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)
You can even use it with Shawn Pearce’s git-completion bash script. Just add this magic incantation to your bashrc file:
# assuming ~/.git-completion is where your complete script lives source ~/.git-completion complete -o default -o nospace -F _git gh
Now you’ll get superchared @git@ completion while using @gh@.
We’ve also added a handful of bugfixes related to the @network@ command. Check it out:
$ gem install defunkt-github --source=http://gems.github.com
