grr

grr: git run root - run a file in the git repo root, with tab completion

Installation and Setup

Dependencies

The script needs git and bash

Installation

  $ cp grr ${HOME}/tools/bin
  $ chmod a+x ${HOME}/tools/bin

Setup Tab Completion

Add the following to your .bash_profile

For bash-3.2 (OSX):

if [[ -f ${HOME}/tools/bin/grr ]]; then
    source /dev/stdin <<<"$(cat <(${HOME}/tools/bin/grr --bash-complete))"
fi

For a newer bash:

source <(${HOME}/tools/bin/grr --bash-complete)

Usage

Change directory into some deep directory of a git repo. Type grr then hit <TAB> to get a list of executable files and directories in the git repo root. Pick a command to run, then tab completion reverts to normal argument completion.
