Link to Magit buffers from Org documents
This package defines several Org link types, which can be used to
link to certain Magit buffers. Use the command org-store-link
while such a buffer is current to store a link. Later you can
insert it into an Org buffer using the command org-insert-link
.
Format
The three link types defined here take these forms:
orgit:/path/to/repo/ links to a magit-status buffer
orgit-log:/path/to/repo/::REV links to a magit-log buffer
orgit-rev:/path/to/repo/::ARGS links to a magit-revision buffer
Before v1.3.0
only the first revision was stored in orgit-log
links, and all other revisions were discarded. All other arguments
were also discarded and Magitβs usual mechanism for determining the
switches and options was used instead.
For backward compatibility, and because it is the common case and
looks best, ARGS by default has the form REV
as before. However if
linking to a log buffer that shows the log for multiple revisions,
then ("REV"...)
is used instead. If orgit-log-save-arguments
is
non-nil, then (("REV"...) ("ARG"...) [("FILE"...)])
is always used,
which allows restoring the buffer most faithfully.
Export
When an Org file containing such links is exported, then the url of
the remote configured with orgit-remote
is used to generate a web
url according to orgit-export-alist
. That webpage should present
approximately the same information as the Magit buffer would.
Both the remote to be considered the public remote, as well as the actual web urls can be defined in individual repositories using Git variables.
To use a remote different from orgit-remote
but still use
orgit-export-alist
to generate the web urls, use:
git config orgit.remote REMOTE-NAME
To explicitly define the web urls, use something like:
git config orgit.status http://example.com/repo/overview
git config orgit.log http://example.com/repo/history/%r
git config orgit.rev http://example.com/repo/revision/%r
