A shell plugin to easily add remotes to git repositories.
It is so damn boring to type or copy and paste the URLs changing only the fork name.
Given that you are in a valid git managed folder, with a remote named origin,
you can, for example, add your company's remote as upstream:
$ add-upstream company
$ git remote -v
origin git@github.com:caarlos0/random.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:caarlos0/random.git (push)
upstream git@github.com:company/random.git (fetch)
upstream git@github.com:company/random.git (push)Or even add your coworker's remote to work in some branch together:
$ add-remote my-coworker
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/caarlos0/random.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/caarlos0/random.git (push)
my-coworker https://github.com/my-coworker/random.git (fetch)
my-coworker https://github.com/my-coworker/random.git (push)Some people have hard aliases in github, so you can even set the remote's name:
$ add-remote _c0w0rk3r_0x12 newguy
$ git remote -v
origin git@github.com:caarlos0/random.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:caarlos0/random.git (push)
newguy git@github.com:_c0w0rk3r_0x12/random.git (fetch)
newguy git@github.com:_c0w0rk3r_0x12/random.git (push)newguy's tend to multiply, so I don't recommend naming it like that.
It was innitialy made to be used in ZSH, so, if you use antibody, antigen, or
whatever, just bundle it:
$ antibody bundle caarlos0/git-add-remoteIf you use bash, you can clone this repo somewhere or just download the
add-remote.sh file and source the
add-remote.sh file in your ~/.profile or wherever you like.
Fig adds apps, shortcuts, and autocomplete to your existing terminal.
Install git-add-remote in just one click.
$ git config --global alias.add-upstream '!zsh -ic \"add-upstream $*\"''
$ git config --global alias.add-remote '!zsh -ic \"add-remote $*\"''
$ git add-upstream org
$ git add-remote user remote_name
$ git add-remote userThese examples are for zsh, but I'm pretty sure they also work on bash by replacing
zsh -icwithbash -ic.
