CLI utils for GitHub

Install

Using homebrew

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mavimo/git-helper-gh/master/git-helper-gh.rb

From source

1. Check that you installed jq and sed (GNU version) on your machine
2. Clone this repo
3. Include bin directory in your path, or create symlinks:
   • ln -s $(pwd)/bin/git-gh-pr /usr/local/bin/git-gh-pr
   • ln -s $(pwd)/bin/git-gh-start /usr/local/bin/git-gh-start
   • ln -s $(pwd)/bin/git-gh-release /usr/local/bin/git-gh-release

Configuration

1. Create a new GitHub token with "repo" permissions at settings page
2. Configure each project using:
   • git config --add gh.username YOURNAME (replace YOURNAME with your GitHub username, eg. mavimo)
   • git config --add gh.project PROJECT/NAME (replace PROJECT/NAME with GitHub project name, eg.: mavimo/git-helper-gh. PAY ATTENTION as it's case-sensitive!)
   • git config --add gh.token GITHUB_TOKEN (replace GITHUB_TOKEN with your GitHub token generated above)

Usage

1. Use git checkout BRANCH to switch to the branch you want to use as base (eg. develop)
2. Use git gh-start ISSUE_ID to start to work on a new feature (replace ISSUE_ID with the issue ID you are start to working)
3. After pushing the branch containing your desired changes, use git gh-pr to create a new pull request. A new tab in your browser will open with preconfigured PR label, author, title and content; you will only have to choose an assignee and add more information if needed. You can specify an optional parameter so set the base branch for the PR: git gh-pr BASE-BRANCH-NAME
4. Use git gh-release MILESTONE_NAME to create milestone report (replace MILESTONE_NAME with the name of the milestone)
