pair

Pair Programming and split the commits contributiuons.

For every commit Author and Commiter will be swapped, so 50% for each developer.

Install

mkdir ~/.functions
git clone git@github.com:vnegrisolo/pair.git ~/.functions/pair
echo "source ~/.functions/pair/pair.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

Configure

pair accepts github users and fetch your name and email from:

• local cache
• github api

pair bill karen

If you do not have a name or public email for these users pair will show a command line so you can configure it manually, something like:

pair user_with_no_email
ERROR => You need to set Name and Email for user_with_no_email on Github, or run manually:
  git config --global pair.author.email 'your@email.com'
  git config --global pair.author.name 'Your Name'
  git config --global pair.your-user.email 'your@email.com'
  git config --global pair.your-user.name 'Your Name'

Commit

pair calls git in order to commit with all the params you wish and swaps author and committer for every commit.

pair commit -m 'Something changed'

Status

pair

prints something like:

Ignore github

If you don't want to use github users you can create your own config file by:

Add to you ~/.gitconfig:

[include]
  path = ~/.gitconfig.pair

Create a file ~/.gitconfig.pair as:

[pair "your-user"]
  email = your@email.com
  name = Your Name
[pair "another-user"]
  email = another@email.com
  name = Another Name

Reset

pair reset

Development

I chose rspec as my test framework because I love it.

So I created some abstractions to deal with shell and make bash developer live easier.

Github Notes

Github defines some rules to contributions.

TL;TR:

You need to fit in at least one of the following:

• You are a collaborator on the repository or are a member of the organization that owns the repository.
• You have forked the repository.
• You have opened a pull request or issue in the repository.
• You have starred the repository.
