Git-mob

A command-line tool for social coding


This is a CLI tool for including your co-authors in your commits.

It is essentially a Rust clone of the git-mob NPM package.

Examples

  • Add Alice and Bob as a possible co-authors:

    git add-coauthor a "Alice" alice@example.com
    git add-coauthor b "Bob" bob@example.com
    
  • Set Alice as co-author, making your mob consist of you and Alice:

    git mob a
    
  • Set both Alice and Bob as co-authors, making your mob consist of the three of you:

    git mob a b
    
  • Remove Bob as a possible co-author:

    git delete-coauthor b
    
  • List all available co-authors:

    git mob -l
    
  • Go back to coding by yourself again:

    git solo
    

Working features

  • git mob <co-author-initials>
  • git add-coauthor <initials> "Co-author Name" <co-author-email-address>
  • git delete-coauthor <initials>
  • git mob -l
  • git solo

TODO

There are some missing features from the original NPM package, that are yet to be implemented, and then there is also a severe lack of tests and documentation.

Missing features

  • git mob-print
  • git edit-coauthor
  • git suggest-coauthors
  • -o for overwriting the main author
  • --installTemplate and --uninstallTemplate for prepare-commit-msg

Why clone an existing, working CLI tool?

Basically, I was looking for some decent size project to write in Rust, and I didn't have any other ideas.

The NPM package works just fine. There's just one thing that annoys me about it, and that is that I have to install it in once for every node version that is used in any repo I work in. With this approach, I only need to install it once.
