I built this. If there are bugs makes issues; I will fix them. I welcome suggestions and feature requests.

Not a bug, just a question. 'octogit login' says "You need both a password and username to login". Where do I provide them?

googletron9• 14 years ago

octogit login <username> <password>

I am updating the site now.

Very cool, does it support organizations? Eg, can octogit create a repo in one of my organizations, instead of my main account?

Perhaps:

octogit create git@github.com:org-name/new-repo-name.git 'new repo desc'

googletron9• 14 years ago

That is definitely a feature I can put into the mix. if you create an issue on github; I will definitely get on it. :D

googletron9• 14 years ago

I have completed the feature it will be in the next release.

Would you mind using getpass if the "octogit login" command is only given one argument? It'd be cool to be able to use it with other people in the room and without leaving it in the shell history. It would also be nice to know where my password is being stored and to have a logout command that securely erases it.

if you raise the issue; I will look into incorporating it in a new release.

Seems pretty neat, but I personally find 'hub' (https://github.com/defunkt/hub) a better fit: it acts as a filter to git itself. This might be interesting for issues handling. (But it could probably be added to 'hub').

There are some things in 'hub' that aren't working in the release because of github's move away from user tokens—but there's an active branch with a proposed fix.

They were working on providing CLI OAuth waiting for that; It was mainly to scratch an itch I had. If others can benefit from it great. I will keep it maintained and in working order.

You could at least tidy up the presentation.

> A free, open source solution for creating github repositories from the commandline avoid the usual copy and paste. Keep up to date on issues, and much more.

Needs a comma.

> octogit login &ltusername> &ltpassword> # allows you to store your github authetication data octogit create &ltreponame> 'description' # lets you create the repository both locally and on github octogit issues # lets you see all the related issues in the current repository octogit issues &ltnumber> # lets you see a specific issue with summary octogit issues &ltnumber> close # lets you close an issue

&lt's everywhere.

The "follow" link's right hand corners are cut off.

The title is showing Octogit plus a unicode D with a horizontal line through it (can't seem to paste it here).

EDIT: Downvotes for constructive criticism? Really?

farslan• 14 years ago

It's on Github. That means you could fix that and send a pull request to the developer (which is consructive) instead of making a "constructive criticsm".

Contributing to open source comes in many flavours. Bug reporting is one of them. I simply don't have the motivation to contribute more than this to a project which doesn't personally interest me. Instead of throwing the little I do give back in my face, why not make use of it?

"You could at least tidy up the presentation."

It's your grouchy tone.

Produce4• 14 years ago

I'm sticking to my guns on this one. Had my comment contained personal insults or bad language or negativity, I would agree with you. Try reading that sentence in a standoffish tone with furrowed eyebrows while scoffing at the author. Now read it again in a neutral tone with one eyebrow raised which places no judgement on the person but full judgement on the work itself. I was aiming for the latter.

The bottom line is that these are glaring problems that a five year old could spot and, to most people, it's pretty obvious that if you're presenting something you should proof read it.

Didn't play with it yet, but I have a question. I have an organization linked with my personal account. Is it possible to creat a repo for that organization, instead of one for myself using this tool?

googletron9• 14 years ago

Its a feature that has been requested. I am going to implement it soon.

https://github.com/myusuf3/octogit/issues/19

googletron9• 14 years ago

So I finished the feature. It should be in the next release.

joshontheweb• 14 years ago

This is pretty cool. I don't know if I would use it for everything but 'create' and 'issues' looks sweet! I'm assuming you can use it with git interchangeably.

feiern• 14 years ago

One thing I noticed: Could you link more prominently to the github page/repo of the project? One has to click the "watch" button to get there (which I didn't know before, so at least I learned something :D).

My idea would be to make a prominent "on github" link or link the big title to the repo.

People that make projects using pip need to explain how to install pip. It doesn't come with Mac or Ubuntu by default. I know what the package is for Ubuntu but Mac, I have no idea.

EDIT: after 5 minutes of Googling since "PIP" is a common acronym that stands for a bunch of things, you can install it on Mac via `easy_install` which comes on it by default.

`sudo easy_install pip`

Skywing• 14 years ago

For what it's worth, the pip website does explain that you can install pip with easy_install.

Actually, it took me about 30 minutes to find how to install onto 64-bit Windows. You need to first install Python, then run the following:

http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py

Then you use easy install to install pip. That's how I got it working, but I'm a complete Python newbie!

This looks pretty awesome! After installing it though I get an error saying it can't find git... but git is in my path. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
