Some helpful executables for working with git.

gh-co-pull

Checkout a new branch and pull from a github user - branch combination. The following pairs are equivilents.

# In some-repo:master
$ gh-co-pull tim-smart
$ git checkout -b pull/tim-smart/master && git pull \
  git://github.com/tim-smart/some-repo.git master

# In some-repo:master
$ gh-co-pull tim-smart test-branch
$ git checkout -b pull/tim-smart/test-branch && git pull \
  git://github.com/tim-smart/some-repo.git test-branch

git-merge-rm

Merges a branch into the current one, pushes it then deletes the branch on both the remote and local repository.

hub-pull-req

Parses the Github issue number from the current branch name (expects 'issue/xx{/blah}) then turns that issue on Github into a pull request. This requires gem install hub to be installed, and available as hub.

npm-create

Create a npm / github repository with a name and dependencies. It uses the following values:

$ git config --global github.user
$ git config --global user.name
$ git config --global user.email
$ npm whoami
$ node -v

Some usage:

$ npm-create project-name some-depend=0.1.x 'request>=0.1' dev:expresso

Which would create the project "project-name" with the following package.json: (With the names etc replace with your own)

{ "name" : "project-name"
, "version" : "0.0.1"
, "author" : "Tim Smart <tim@fostle.com>"
, "description" : ""
, "engines" :
  { "node" : ">=0.9.10"
  }
, "homepage" : "https://github.com/tim-smart/project-name"
, "repository" :
  { "type" : "git"
  , "url" : "git://github.com/tim-smart/project-name.git"
  }
, "bugs" : {
    "email" : "tim@fostle.com"
  , "url" : "https://github.com/tim-smart/project-name/issues"
  }
, "main" : "./lib/project-name.js"
, "bin" :
  { "project-name" : "bin/project-name"
  }
, "dependencies" :
  { "some-depend" : "0.1.x"
  , "request" : ">=0.1"
  }
, "devDependencies" :
  { "expresso" : "*"
  }
}
