codenames
A simple bash script to convert hex values (such as commit ids) to codenames
Usage ./name.sh <hex-value>
The hex-value should be 12 characters or more.
Why would I use this?
To give meaningful and easy to remember names for commits, so that they can be used as codenames for releases. unconditionally-gigantic-sugar is easier to remember than 4c33c6c7b7826063cd7d75b943057b5e5872661a.
How random is this?
190 adjectives * 29 adverbs * 842 nouns = 4,639,420 combinations
Add your own nouns, adjectives and adverbs to increase the number of possibilities.
Can I contribute?
Sure, the rules are as follows:
- All adverbs should be were possible West Coast Hip :-) Think Bill and Ted -> Point Blank -> Silicon Valley
- Adjectives must be positive, we're using these for releases so words like 'dank', 'messy' etc. don't really work well
- Nouns should be cool - yeah you figure out what cool means - things like llama, kitteh, cake are good, things like car, office, bucket aren't.
- Fork and Pull Request, ta.
Oh yeah and this is a quick and dirty hack so no validation or fancy stuff yet. But really do you need it for something this simple :-)
