Easy links for your git project diffs!
git-project enables smooth project and sub-repository management when all component repositories are rapidly changing. Unfortunately, when sub-repositories change, this only shows up in the parent repo as a one line diff with the old and new commit references.
This chrome extension turns those one line diffs in github into links that take you directly to the compare view in the sub-repo.
This extension may be installed as an unpacked extension in developer mode:
- Navigate to
chrome://extensions - Check "Developer mode" box
- Click "Load unpacked extension..."
- Navigate to and select the
gitproj-diff/folder
You may also need to set up aliases. This is a dictionary of library nickname keys and actual library name values.
For example, if your .gitproj file looks like:
version: 0.1.0
repos:
MSR deps/my-sub-repo [email protected]:org/my-sub-repo.git
states:
MSR dev bea52b0fde4a896139b1526b457837b07e6dd987
you need to set up:
...
var aliases = {
"MSR": "my-sub-repo",
}
...- All repositories and sub-repositories must be under the same user/org.
- Changes to github HTML will most likely break this extension.
- The Javascript code isn't exceptionally beautiful...
This extension was originally based on a template created by Tom Maxwell, available here.
