Git It On

A lot of times we have to look at files on GitHub. But this intrudes our ideal command-line workflow, having to switch to a browser and navigate to the URL. Wouldn't it be nice to just be able to open that file from the command line?

Git It On, the plugin for zshell, comes in here.

• gitit -- open your current folder, on your current branch, in GitHub or GitLab
• gitit <folder or file> -- opens that folder in your current branch (paths are relative)

Installation

Note: This plugin is stable, but still in active development. I do not yet consider this plugin finished.

Note: This was built on a Mac. Support for Linux is experimental, and has not been tested by the plugin author.

Oh-My-ZSH

Assuming you have oh-my-zsh, you can simply write

git clone https://github.com/peterhurford/git-it-on.zsh ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/git-it-on
echo "plugins+=(git-it-on)" >> ~/.zshrc

(Alternatively, you can place the git-it-on plugin in the plugins=(...) local manually.)

--

Antigen

Add antigen bundle peterhurford/git-it-on.zsh to your .zshrc wherever you're adding the other antigen bundles.

Zgen

If you’re using Zgen, add zgen load peterhurford/git-it-on.zsh to your .zshrc wherever you're adding your other zgen plugins.

Bash

If you're lame and use bash, you can install this directly to your ~/.bash_profile:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/peterhurford/git-it-on.zsh/master/git-it-on.plugin.zsh >> ~/.bash_profile

That's cool... What else?

Well, for GitHub:

• gitit <folder or file> <branch> -- opens that folder on the specified branch.
• gitit repo <username> <reponame> -- opens up the specified repository.
• gitit branch <branch> -- open the repo for a chosen branch.
• gitit compare -- opens the compare file between your branch and master
• gitit compare <branch> -- opens the compare file for a chosen branch (compared with master).
• gitit commits -- opens the commits for your current branch
• gitit commits <branch> -- opens the commits for a chosen branch.
• gitit issues -- open the list of issues.
• gitit history <filename> -- opens the github history page for the file.
• gitit history <filename> <branch> -- opens the history page for the file on the chosen branch.
• gitit pulls -- open the list of pull requests for the repo.
• gitit pulls <filters> -- open the list of pull requests with filters (e.g., is:open, author:peterhurford)
• gitit pulls <number> -- open the pull request for that number.
• gitit branches all -- open up a list of all the branches in the repo.
• gitit branches active -- open up a list of active branches.
• gitit branches stale -- open up a list of stale branches.
• gitit branches mine -- open up a list of your branches.
• gitit grep <term> -- opens the github search page for your term
• gitit ctrlp -- opens the github file finder for master branch (note that you cannot pass search terms directly from the command line)
• gitit ctrlp <branch> -- opens the github file finder for your desired branch

And for GitLab:

• gitit <folder or file> <branch> -- opens that folder on the specified branch.
• gitit glcompare -- open a comparison for current branch to master
• gitit glcompare <src> -- open a comparison for src to master
• gitit glcompare <src> <target> -- open a comparison for src to target
• gitit glcommits <file> -- open all commits; optionally specify file for all commits affecting it
• gitit glbranches -- open the list of branches
• gitit glhistory <file> <branch> -- open history of the current branch; optionally specify file and branch
• gitit glmerges -- open merge requests page
• gitit glmerges <query> -- open the list of pull requests with query (e.g. variable_1)
• gitit glmerges <number> -- open page for merge request <number>
• gitit glissues <query|number> -- similar to glmerges
• gitit glctrlp <query> -- search using the gitlab file finder
• gitit glnetwork -- open the GitLab repository graph

Gitlab Short Commands:

Gitlab commands also have short alternatives:
glcompare|glcm, glcommits|glco, glhistory|glh, glbranches|glb, glmerges|glm, glissues|gli, glctrlp|glcr, glnetwork|gln

But why even leave vim for the command line?

TODO: Make and link vim companion plugin.

These commands are too long, I want to be even faster!

You can make commands faster by using aliases. Put the following in your .zshrc (or .bash_profile)

#Gitit Aliases
alias myrepos="gitit repo peterhurford" #put your name here (usage: `myrepos <reponame>` to open up your repo.)
alias compare="gitit compare"
alias commits="gitit commits"
alias branch="gitit branch"
alias gistory="gitit history"
alias prs="gitit pulls"
alias myprs="gitit pulls author:peterhurford" #put your name here
alias mybranches="gitit branches mine"
alias gitgrep="gitit grep"
alias ctrlp="gitit ctrlp"

Feel free to change the aliases to whatever you'd like. You can even make them shorter, but the above is what I use. Note that these aliases are not included by default.

If you want more git-related aliases for making your git workflow faster, also look at my Git-aliases.zsh plugin.

Got any more plugins to share?

• Send.zsh, a git command by robertzk that combines git add ., git commit -a -m, and git push origin <branch>.
• Send.vim, a vim plugin by me to do the above without leaving vim.
