NAME

App::TimeTracker::Command::Git - App::TimeTracker Git plugin

VERSION

version 2.015

DESCRIPTION

This plugin makes it easier to set up and manage git topic branches. When starting a new task, you can at the same time start a new git branch. Also, when stopping, tracker will merge the topic branch back into master.

See http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ for a good example on how to work with topic branches (and much more!)

CONFIGURATION

plugins

Add Git to the list of plugins.

Of course this plugin will only work if the current project is in fact a git repo...

NEW COMMANDS

none

CHANGES TO OTHER COMMANDS

start, continue

New Options

--branch cool_new_feature

~/perl/Your-Project$ tracker start --branch cool_new_feature    
Started working on Your-Project at 13:35:53
Switched to branch 'cool_new_feature'

If you pass a branch name via --branch, tracker will create a new branch (unless it already exists) and then switch into this branch.

If the branch already existed, it might be out of sync with master. In this case you should do something like git merge master before starting to work.

--nobranch (--no_branch)

~/perl/Your-Project$ tracker start --branch another_featur --no_branch

Do not create a new branch, even if --branch is set. This is only useful if another plugin (eg <RT>) automatically sets --branch.

stop

New Options

--merge

~/perl/Your-Project$ tracker stop --merge

After, stopping, merge the current branch back into master (using --no-ff.

TODO: Turn this into a string option, which should be the name of the branch we want to merge into. Default to master (or something set in config..)
