Gold is a simple executable that helps git teamwork.
source code: github.com/zena/gold
installation
# sudo gem install gold
Introduction
This is the workflow we use when developing zena.
The main idea is that developers work on feature branches on their fork and send an
email to the reviewer when work is ready. The reviewer pulls from these branches,
checks that all is good and either apply the commits to the gold master or abort.
There is a script called ‘gold’ that helps use this workflow once the remote references
are added.
Any questions ? Ask zena’s mailing list.
Comands
For a full list of commands, type ‘gold’ without any parameter:
# gold
Workflow
The setup and settings commands create a file called ‘gold.yml’ in the project’s ’.git’ folder.
Developer setup
1. login on github (John)
2. fork sandbox
3. on local machine, clone your own fork
> git clone git@github.com:john/PROJECT.git
> cd PROJECT
> gold setup
Reviewer setup
In a clone of the master branch of the project (not a fork).
# git clone [location of master] # cd [name of project] # gold setup # gold add_dev john
