Hitch allows developers to be properly credited when Pair Programming and using Git.
- Persists pair(s) between different terminal instances.
- Creates a unique email address for the pair. (e.g. dev+fry+leela@hashrocket.com) This provides the ability to create a Gravatar for the pair.
- Allows you to expire the pair information in N hours. e.g. hitch --expire 8 fry leela
- For leela and fry to pair:
- hitch leela fry
- To clear pair info:
- hitch -u
- For a complete list of features:
- hitch -h
- Creating a Gravatar for your pair:
- Once I've hitched with my pair. (e.g. hitch leela fry) I have now created a unique email: dev+fry+leela@hashrocket.com
- Then, I go to gravatar.com. Add an image to that particular email address and I'm done.
- gem install hitch
- rvm users run this:
for x in $(rvm list strings); do rvm use $x@global && gem install hitch; done- hitch --setup >> ~/.bashrc
- this prints out the necessary shell function and aliases you need to add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
- Or copy/paste the following into your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:
hitch() {
command hitch "$@"
if [[ -s "$HOME/.hitch_export_authors" ]] ; then source "$HOME/.hitch_export_authors" ; fi
}
alias unhitch='hitch -u'
# Uncomment to persist pair info between terminal instances
# hitch
- It's easier if you use rvm.
- Fork hitch
- When you cd into the directory the .rvmrc will activate and create a hitch gemset
- Then run the following scripts:
sh install_supported_rubies.sh
sh rake_spec_with_all_rubies.sh # this also bundles all necessary gems- Git, HighLine
