git-mit is a suite of git hooks. It's aimed to make pair programming, adding issue numbers to your commits, and following good commit message practices something that happens without thinking about it.
Usage
Preparing the repository
This works via git hooks, so you need these hooks to be present in the git repository you're using to use them.
git init .
git mit-install
This works by creating a symlink in your repositories hooks directory.
You can do this automatically by adding them to your init
template. This
is the template that git uses to create the .git
directory when you
run git init
.
git mit-install --scope=global
You can also run this on an existing repository, to set up an already checked out repository. You can re-initialise all of your repositories, recursively from the home directory using this command.
find "$HOME" -type d -name .git -exec sh -c 'git init "$1"/..' -- {} \;

You can read more details about this, with examples on the lints page
Centralising lint config
You can add a .git-mit.toml
or .git-mit.toml.dist
to the root of
your repository, and we will read it and try to enable the correct lints
(with .git-mit.toml
taking precedence).
I recommend you commit .git-mit.toml.dist
and add .git-mit.toml
to
your .gitignore
to allow easy local reconfiguration
For example
[mit.lint]
"pivotal-tracker-id-missing" = true
With this you can enable lints
git mit-config lint status pivotal-tracker-id-missing
╭────────────────────────────┬─────────╮
│ Lint ┆ Status │
╞════════════════════════════╪═════════╡
│ pivotal-tracker-id-missing ┆ enabled │
╰────────────────────────────┴─────────╯
You can read more about this on the configuring page
Append issue number
In projects, it is nice to help out your co-workers by linking the commits you're making back to the issue in the backlog. This can get a bit tedious to remember though, so here's a command to reduce the amount of typing.
Say you've just made this awesome README.md
for Pivotal Tracker ID
[#12321513]
# The Best Readme
This is the best readme
If you run
git mit-relates-to "[#12321513]"
Next time you commit
git add README.md
git mit bt
git commit -m "Wrote a great README"
the commit message will contain the ID
git show --pretty='format:author: [%an %ae] signed-by: [%GS]
---
%B' -q
author: [Billie Thompson billie@example.com] signed-by: []
---
Wrote a great README
Relates-to: [#12321513]
Read more about this at the relates to page
Setting Authors and Co-Authors
Pairing is a great way to program, and it's even better when you give credit, you can give credit with the mit command
Configure your authors like the example by creating a config at
$HOME/.config/git-mit/mit.toml
git-mit-config mit example
[ae]
name = "Anyone Else"
email = "anyone@example.com"
[bt]
name = "Billie Thompson"
email = "billie@example.com"
signingkey = "0A46826A"
[se]
name = "Someone Else"
email = "someone@example.com"
And you can run
git mit ae bt se
Then next when you make a commit the Co-authored-by
trailers will be
set of the author initials you selected.
echo "# Hello, world!" > README.md
git add .
git commit --message="Initial Commit" --quiet
git show --pretty='format:author: [%an %ae] signed-by: [%GS]
---
%B' -q
author: [Anyone Else anyone@example.com] signed-by: []
---
Initial Commit
Co-authored-by: Billie Thompson <billie@example.com>
Co-authored-by: Someone Else <someone@example.com>
Relates-to: [#12321513]
Notice how the "Relates-to" tag is here even though we didn't trigger it? It's from the example higher on the page, git-mit remembers your author and ticket number for 60 min
For more information on this see the mit page
Installing
You can install this with brew! This is the preferred method of installing.
brew install PurpleBooth/repo/git-mit
You can use Cargo too, though this won't install the completions
cargo install git-mit
cargo install git-mit-config
cargo install git-mit-install
cargo install git-mit-relates-to
cargo install mit-commit-msg
cargo install mit-pre-commit
cargo install mit-prepare-commit-msg
You can also download the latest release and run it.
There is a script to download the latest release:
Completions
We generate completions for fish
,zsh
, and bash
. They're installed
with the homebrew package. You don't need to do anything to activate
them.
Each binary also has a command to generate completion.
