git_pivotal_tracker_x

Forked from the awesome Git Pivotal Tracker gem by Ben Lindsey and Carbon Five. (You can find the original here)

Changes included in this version:

• Option to automatically delete story branches once they've been merged
• Ability to pick your integration branch on the fly (when you start a new story)
• Changed git hook from prepare-commit-msg to commit-msg since commit-msg is better supported by git apps
  • I recommend Brotherbard's GitX (This is a slightly older version, because the newest one has performance issues for me).

• git-story
• git-feature
• git-bug
• git-chore

These commands start the first available story from your Pivotal Tracker project and create a topic branch for it.

• git-finish

When on a topic branch, this command will:

• Fetch the latest integration branch ('master' by default),
• Rebase your topic branch from it
• Merge the topic branch into the integration branch with no-fast-forward
• Push the integration branch to origin
• (Optionally) delete the topic branch

You can customize your integration branch in 2 ways. You can set the integration branch in your git config (see config options below). Additionally, when you create a topic branch, it prompts you for a branch suffix name; if the suffix name you supply is the name of an existing local branch, that branch will be used as your integration branch for that story only. This method will override the integration branch specified in your git config when applicable.

• git-info

Print out the Pivotal Tracker story information for the current topic branch

• FIXME (code sample of usage)

• a github account
• a Pivotal Tracker project
• Pivotal Tracker api service hook turned on for your github project (under Admin -> Service Hooks)

gem install git_pivotal_tracker_x

Once installed, git pivotal needs two bits of info: your Pivotal Tracker API Token and your Pivotal Tracker project id:

git config --global pivotal.api-token 123a456b

The project id is best placed within your project's git config:

git config -f .git/config pivotal.project-id 88888

If your project's access is setup to use HTTPS:

git config -f .git/config pivotal.use-ssl 1

If you prefer to merge back to a branch other than master when you've finished a story, you can configure that:

git config -f .git/config pivotal.integration-branch develop

If you prefer to fetch and rebase from origin before merging (default is no):

git config --global pivotal.rebase 1

If you prefer to fast-forward your merges into the integration branch (default is --no-ff):

git config --global pivotal.fast-forward 1

If your Pivotal Tracker user name is different than your git user name:

git config --global pivotal.full-name 'Ben Lindsey'

If you prefer to have story branches deleted after they are merged by git-finish:

git config --global pivotal.delete-branch 1

If you would like verbose logging turned on for git commands:

git config --global pivotal.verbose 1
