Lightning Talk given at VimLondon Meetup, October 2013

Transcript

1. git, git-browse, fugitive, vim and oh my (VimLondon, October 2013) Łukasz Korecki @lukaszkorecki http://lukasz.korecki.me
2. ...actually! git-browse has been renamed to git-surf (old repo link still works though) https://github.com/lukaszkorecki/git-surf
3. Problem • I’m editing a file, versioned in git, backed by GitHub • I just found a confusing method • Time to ask questions...
4. Old (busted) way • Go to GitHub • Click some links to find the project, • Navigate to the file • Highlight the lines you’re interested in • Copy the url and post it to your team chat/email/whatever
5. Better Install hub (https://github.com/github/hub) • hub browse • Opens repository on GitHub • Navigate to the file...
6. hub problems • Ruby • Everything + kitchen sink • API calls
7. How about…? git surf -r20,25 path/tofile/ok.py
8. ...or maybe? Vim, with Fugitive :Git surf -r20,30 % Visual mode - select offending lines <leader>b
9. git surf? Enter git-surf • Unix! One thing well (well…) • Depends only on coreutils (bash, awk, sed) • Fast
10. git surf URLs for: - repository - file - commit - pull requests (existing/new) - branch comparison Pipeable output Works well with terminals (C+click, urxvt’s url matcher)
11. In the beginning Started as a hacky function in vimscript (yay)
12. In the beginning (I lost the source though)
13. Bash? • VMs (Vagrant) • Raspberry Pi(s) • Linode as a development server • git is ~35% shell
14. Surf! • Only supports GitHub urls • Has tests • Has vim integration (duh) https://github.com/lukaszkorecki/git-surf
15. Thanks!
