^{_{^{quickly push a patch}}}

forku

If you patch a python lib in your local virtual env. forku ("fork you") tries to fork the repo and apply the patch.

(This only works if a repo can be found for that library.)

THIS PROJECT REQUIRES GITHUB CLI INSTALLED

https://cli.github.com/

requirements

forku requires the following:

python3
git
gh (github cli) : https://cli.github.com/
virtualenv

install

python3 -m pip install forku

usesage

Pass forku the library you have patched. i.e. python3 -m forku -l theirlib

cd someproject
. venv/bin/activate
python3 -m forku -l domonic

i.e. This would fork the domonic library from github, then move the patches you made to venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/domonic to the fork and push it back to github.

status

It currently makes a lot of assumption, so wont work for many cases.

assumes git
assumes latest version of lib. Careful. If not this could result in reverting code in the target library.
assumes you have virtualenv
assumes you are in the correct directory
assume a dist-info folder exists with METADATA with a Home-page
assumes you have a github account
assumes linux?? not sure

See README.md for more information.

TODO -

- add support for other git repos like bitbucket
- add support for other python libs
- add support for other os
- add support for other packing systems

Disclaimer

This is a work in progress. use at your own risk.
