cole-k/flux-snapshot

Takes a snapshot (git commit) whenever you run flux

flux-snapshot

flux-snapshot is a utility for automatically logging the output of flux (either used as cargo-flux or rustc-flux) and making a git commit snapshot of the repository contents.

Its intended use is as a drop-in replacement for flux that tracks the repository state and flux output.

Dependencies

• flux
• A recent version of Python 3

Windows and Linux support is untested, though Linux is presumed to work.

Installation

Add flux-snapshot to your path.

Usage

By default, flux-snapshot will act as a wrapper around cargo-flux. So for example, instead of using

cargo-flux check

you can use

flux-snapshot check

There are some additional options too.

Flag	Argument	Description
-d, --dir	Path	The path to run flux-snapshot in (defaults to current directory)
-m, --message	String	The message to put in the commit created by flux-snapshot (if not given, uses a default message)
--rustc	None	Run rustc-flux instead of cargo-flux

Output buffering

Right now flux-snapshot hangs until the flux subprocess finishes outputting before it reflects that output. I'm sure there's a way to get it to tee its output properly but I'm not bothered enough to fix it.
