git-pair 🍐🍐

Makes it easy to add co-authors to your project

Demo

Installing

$ go install git-pair.go

Make sure that your go/bin directory is in your path. You can check this by echo $PATH. If the go directory is not there then go into your zsh or bash file and add that.

Add the following to your .zshrc file:

PROG=pair source $PATH/to/autocomplete/bash_autocomplete

Usage

To initiate a pairing session just type:

pair add GITHUB_USERNAME GITHUB_EMAIL

To stop pairing with everyone:

pair stop

To see if you are currently pairing with anyone:

pair status

Description

This cli uses the prepare-commit-msg git hook to append co-authors to your commit messages for you.

Example:

wip - git commit message, pairing is fun!
