missing .git-hub

Closed this issue · 4 comments

I installed to the tools to play with them (so as to improve my fairly ... er .. old VCS workflow) and ran into this (after creating a specific issue on github for my repo)

joe@gandalf:~/nlytiq/dev/pcilist$ git hub 1
No .git-hub found. Exiting

This is for pcilist. Is there any guidance on how to create .git-hub ? I don't see it in my tree

joe@gandalf:~/nlytiq/dev/pcilist$ find -type f | grep \.git\-hub
joe@gandalf:~/nlytiq/dev/pcilist$ 

and

joe@gandalf:~/nlytiq/dev/pcilist$ ls -alF .git/

In the CONFIG documentation for that script, you see this:

To use this script, it must find a readable file named .git-hu> in the current directory. The file should be in the following format:

    user  RepoUserName
    repo  NameOfRepo
    token GithubOathToken

So if you wanted to create one for the https://github.com/MeMeMe/some-project/ github project, you'd do this:

    user  MeMeMe
    repo some-project
    token $GithubOathToken

And replace $GithubOathToken with your personal OAuth token.

Pull requests for documentation would be awesome :)

(Though I suppose reading .git/config might make some of this simpler, aside from the OAuth token)

So in your case, I think you want:

user joelandman     
repo pcilist
token $GithubOathToken

I've updated the scripts to give better documentation, including explaining this issue. This should be resolved.
