GitExt: Git extra commands
==========================

[](#gitext-git-extra-commands)

Intro
=====

[](#intro)

This application helps to extend base GIT API. It extends:

- `git flow`
- `git tag`

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Installation by using global scope
----------------------------------

[](#installation-by-using-global-scope)

Get package via composer:

```
$ composer global require rikby/gitext ^0.10

```

And install commands into your local `git`:

```
$ gitext install

```

or

```
$ bash ~/.composer/vendor/bin/gitext install

```

Installation through `create-project`
-------------------------------------

[](#installation-through-create-project)

```
$ composer create-project rikby/gitext ./gitext ^0.10

```

And install commands into your local `git`:

```
$ php ./gitext/bin/gitext install

```

### Inside

[](#inside)

Please take a look command files which use for installation [in list](src/shell/command).

Commands Using
==============

[](#commands-using)

Sort tags
---------

[](#sort-tags)

```
$ git tags
```

Sorting Git tags using PHP function [`version_compare()`](http://php.net/version_compare).

Increment tag using `semver` tool
---------------------------------

[](#increment-tag-using-semver-tool)

[SemVer](https://github.com/npm/node-semver) must be installed.

(You may try to use [this gist](https://gist.github.com/andkirby/3f65c5a6499739c842e25fb7f6d5e682) to make quick install `node`+`npm` in GitBash.)

For example we need to add new build/pre-release

```
# show tag sorted by semver
$ semver $(git tag)
v1.0.1
[...]
v1.2.0-alpha.5

$ git tag-semver --increment prerelease
New tag: v1.2.0-alpha.1

$ semver $(git tag)
v1.0.1
[...]
v1.2.0-alpha.5
v1.2.0-alpha.6
```

Sorting Git tags according to [semantic versioning](semver.org).

Actually it uses PHP function `version_compare()` but seem it works in the same way.

There is no tag name validation.

GitFlow settings for super feature branch
-----------------------------------------

[](#gitflow-settings-for-super-feature-branch)

It can be used for using your "super" issue key in GitFlow. When you can start feature for a sub-task completely using git-flow.

In this case "develop" is a "super" issue branch instead of "right" develop.

So, there are two modes:

- DEFAULT

```
feature prefix = feature/
develop branch = develop

```

- ROOT FEATURE

```
feature prefix = feature/super-
develop branch = feature/super

```

GitFlow settings for multi composer repository
----------------------------------------------

[](#gitflow-settings-for-multi-composer-repository)

```
git flow-namespace

```

Only for [multi composer repository](../../../../andkirby/multi-repo-composer) repository.

Define `GitFlow` settings based upon branch namespace.

A namespace will be set automatically by branch name.

You may add `post-checkout` Git hook.

```
printf "#!""/usr/bin/env bash\n git flow-namespace $@" > $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.git/hooks/post-checkout

```

`.git/hooks/post-checkout` file content:

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
git flow-namespace $@

```

Environment variables
=====================

[](#environment-variables)

- `GITEXT_SEMVER_BIN` - variable for custom path to `semver` binary file.
- `GITEXT_GIT_BIN` - variable for custom path to `git` binary file.
- `GITEXT_PHP_BIN` - variable for custom path to `php` binary file.

User GIT commands
=================

[](#user-git-commands)

You may create your own commands. Here is an example.

Create file `~/.gitext/git-hello-there.sh`:

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# CMD: git hello-there
# DESCR: Some test command.

# you may include some file GitExt files
# . $(gitext source)/shell/lib/git.sh

echo Hello there
```

Check it in commands list:

```
$ gitext install --help
[...]
   git hello-there        Some test command.
```

Install and test:

```
$ gitext install

$ git hello-there
Hello there
```
