git-ghost
Git Ghost is a command line tool for synchronizing your working directory efficiently to a remote place without commiting changes.
Concept
Git Ghost creates 2 types of branches to synchronize your working directory.
Commits Branch
This type of branch contains commits between 2 commits which can exist only in your working directory.
Diff Branch
This type of branch contains modifications from a specific commit in your working directory.
Installing
From Source
Install the binary from source: execute,
$ git clone https://github.com/pfnet-research/git-ghost
$ cd git-ghost
$ make installUsing Homebrew
$ brew tap pfnet-research/git-ghost
$ brew install git-ghostReleases
The binaries of each releases are available in Releases.
Getting Started
First, create an empty repository which can be accessible from a remote place. Set the URL as GIT_GHOST_REPO env.
Assume your have a local working directory DIR_L and a remote directory to be synchronized DIR_R.
Case 1 (DIR_L HEAD == DIR_R HEAD)
You can synchoronize local modifications.
$ cd <DIR_L>
$ git-ghost push
<HASH>
$ git-ghost show <HASH>
...
$ cd <DIR_R>
$ git-ghost pull <HASH>Case 2 (DIR_L HEAD > DIR_R HEAD)
You can synchronize local commits and modifications.
Assume DIR_R's HEAD is HASH_R.
$ cd <DIR_L>
$ git-ghost push all <HASH_R>
<HASH_1> <HASH_2>
<HASH_3>
$ git-ghost show all <HASH_2> <HASH_3>
...
$ cd <DIR_R>
$ git-ghost pull all <HASH_2> <HASH_3>Development
# checkout this repo to $GOPATH/src/git-ghost
