*git-mit* is a suite of git hooks. It's aimed to make pair programming, adding issue numbers to your commits, and following good commit message practices something that happens without thinking about it. ## Usage ### Preparing the repository This works via git hooks, so you need these hooks to be present in the git repository you're using to use them. ``` shell,script(name="1",expected_exit_code=0) git init . git mit-install ``` This works by creating a symlink in your repositories hooks directory. You can do this automatically by adding them to your [init template](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-init#_template_directory). This is the template that git uses to create the `.git` directory when you run `git init`. ``` shell,skip() git mit-install --scope=global ``` You can also run this on an existing repository, to set up an already checked out repository. You can re-initialise all of your repositories, recursively from the home directory using this command. ``` shell,skip() find "$HOME" -type d -name .git -exec sh -c 'git init "$1"/..' -- {} \; ``` ### Lint list ``` shell,script(name="lint-list",expected_exit_code=0) git mit-config lint available ``` ``` text,verify(script_name="lint-list",stream=stdout) ╭───────────────────────────────────┬──────────╮ │ Lint ┆ Status │ ╞═══════════════════════════════════╪══════════╡ │ duplicated-trailers ┆ enabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ pivotal-tracker-id-missing ┆ disabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ jira-issue-key-missing ┆ disabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ github-id-missing ┆ disabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ subject-not-separated-from-body ┆ enabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ subject-longer-than-72-characters ┆ enabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ subject-line-not-capitalized ┆ disabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ subject-line-ends-with-period ┆ disabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ body-wider-than-72-characters ┆ enabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ not-conventional-commit ┆ disabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ not-emoji-log ┆ disabled │ ╰───────────────────────────────────┴──────────╯ ``` With only lints that ensure git will work properly enabled by default ``` shell,script(name="lint-list",expected_exit_code=0) git mit-config lint enabled ``` ``` text,verify(script_name="lint-list",stream=stdout) ╭───────────────────────────────────┬─────────╮ │ Lint ┆ Status │ ╞═══════════════════════════════════╪═════════╡ │ duplicated-trailers ┆ enabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ subject-not-separated-from-body ┆ enabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ subject-longer-than-72-characters ┆ enabled │ ├╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┼╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌┤ │ body-wider-than-72-characters ┆ enabled │ ╰───────────────────────────────────┴─────────╯ ``` You can read more details about this, with examples on the [lints page](docs/lints/index.md) ### Centralising lint config You can add a `.git-mit.toml` or `.git-mit.toml.dist` to the root of your repository, and we will read it and try to enable the correct lints (with `.git-mit.toml` taking precedence). I recommend you commit `.git-mit.toml.dist` and add `.git-mit.toml` to your `.gitignore` to allow easy local reconfiguration For example ``` toml,file(path=".git-mit.toml.dist") [mit.lint] "pivotal-tracker-id-missing" = true ``` With this you can enable lints ``` shell,script(name="7",expected_exit_code=0) git mit-config lint status pivotal-tracker-id-missing ``` ``` text,verify(script_name="7",stream=stdout) ╭────────────────────────────┬─────────╮ │ Lint ┆ Status │ ╞════════════════════════════╪═════════╡ │ pivotal-tracker-id-missing ┆ enabled │ ╰────────────────────────────┴─────────╯ ``` You can read more about this on the [configuring page](docs/lints/configuring.md) ### Append issue number In projects, it is nice to help out your co-workers by linking the commits you're making back to the issue in the backlog. This can get a bit tedious to remember though, so here's a command to reduce the amount of typing. Say you've just made this awesome `README.md` for Pivotal Tracker ID `[#12321513]` ``` markdown,file(path="README.md") # The Best Readme This is the best readme ``` If you run ``` shell,script(name="2",expected_exit_code=0) git mit-relates-to "[#12321513]" ``` Next time you commit ``` shell,script(name="3",expected_exit_code=0) git add README.md git mit bt git commit -m "Wrote a great README" ``` the commit message will contain the ID ``` shell,script(name="4",expected_exit_code=0) git show --pretty='format:author: [%an %ae] signed-by: [%GS] --- %B' -q ``` ``` text,verify(script_name="4",stream=stdout) author: [Billie Thompson billie@example.com] signed-by: [] --- Wrote a great README Relates-to: [#12321513] ``` Read more about this at the [relates to page](docs/mit-relates-to.md) ### Setting Authors and Co-Authors Pairing is a great way to program, and it's even better when you give credit, you can give credit with the mit command Configure your authors like the example by creating a config at `$HOME/.config/git-mit/mit.toml` ``` shell,script(name="3") git-mit-config mit example ``` ``` toml,verify(script_name="3",stream=stdout) [ae] name = "Anyone Else" email = "anyone@example.com" [bt] name = "Billie Thompson" email = "billie@example.com" signingkey = "0A46826A" [se] name = "Someone Else" email = "someone@example.com" ``` And you can run ``` shell,script(name="6",expected_exit_code=0) git mit ae bt se ``` Then next when you make a commit the `Co-authored-by` trailers will be set of the author initials you selected. ``` shell,script(name="7",expected_exit_code=0) echo "# Hello, world!" > README.md git add . git commit --message="Initial Commit" --quiet git show --pretty='format:author: [%an %ae] signed-by: [%GS] --- %B' -q ``` ``` text,verify(script_name="7",stream=stdout) author: [Anyone Else anyone@example.com] signed-by: [] --- Initial Commit Co-authored-by: Billie Thompson
