git-host provides a command line interface to repository management. This can be convenient to avoid having to log into a web service to quickly create new repositories. git-host can also serve as a handy abstraction for other tools to create repositories without you having to teach them the intricacies of each API.
- Github
- Bitbucket
To use git-host you tie all the host information together in an account, which is then passed to all other git-host commands. For convenience you can set the default account either globally or per-repository.
All account information is simply stored in the .gitconfig at the appropriate level.
- Ruby 1.9 or higher
- Only tested on OS X, I have no idea if it will work on anything else
Clone the repository and sudo ./install [--symlink]
# Create new host account
git host add --account bigco --hostname bitbucket --username [email protected] --password 12345
# Set this account as the default account for this repository
git host set-default --account bigco
# Create a new repo using the default account
git host create-repo bigproj --private --description "Our new awesome project"
# Output the url for an repository (useful for tools)
git host url-for bigproj
