Setup

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

$ 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 config --add link.short 7  # optional
$ git link --browser <url> --name <name> --clipboard ...

Development

See repobrowsers.py and test_cgit.py if you are interested in adding a new repository browser. Release checklist:

1. Run py.test.

2. Bump version in gitlink/__init__.py.

3. Update man page - make man/git-link.1.

4. Create standalone script - make git-link.

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 its command line interface.
