Installing

The latest stable version of git link is available on pypi, while the development version can be installed from github:

$ pip install gitlink  # latest stable version
$ pip install git+git://github.com/gvalkov/git-link.git # latest development version

Alternatively, you can install it manually like any other python package:

$ git clone git@github.com:gvalkov/git-link.git
$ cd git-link
$ git reset --hard HEAD $versiontag
$ python setup.py install

Setup

Git link needs to know the name and url of the repository browser for every repository it is being run in. They can be specified either through git-config or on the command line:

$ git config --add link.url <repo browser url>
$ git config --add link.browser <repo browser name>
$ git config --add link.clipboard false|true # optional
$ git link   --browser <url> --name <name> --clipboard ...

Shell completion

Git link comes with shell completion for bash and zsh.

• bash: copy git-link.sh to /etc/bash_completion.d/ (TBD)

• zsh: copy git-link.zsh anywhere in $fpath

If you are installing system-wide, git link will attempt to place these files in the right locations.

Development

See repobrowsers.py and test_cgit.py if you are interested in adding a new repository browser. Running python setup.py test or py.test tests/ before committing is generally a good idea. You might also want to run tox to make sure that tests pass on all supported python versions (>=2.6).

Please make do without bringing in any external dependencies. As nice as GitPython and libgit2 are, anything that this tool needs from git can be queried using the command line tools.
