bump.sh

Quickly create bump messages inside a bump.txt file in the current directory.

Installation

Clone this repository to your local machine, make bump.sh executable and create a symlink to some place inside your $PATH.

In this example I clone the repository into ~/bin/source/.

# go to the target directory
$ cd ~/bin/source
# clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/kevingimbel/bump.git
# navigate into the new directory
$ cd bump
# make it executable
$ chmod +x bump.sh
# link it to a variable inside your path, e.g. /usr/local/bin
$ (sudo) ln -s $(pwd)/bump.sh /usr/local/bin/bump

Update

Go into the bump git directory, e.g. ~/bin/source/bump when following the guide above, and run git pull origin master.

Usage

sage: bump [options] Message
Write a bump text to bump.txt

Options:
    -u,--usage      Show usage message
    -h,--help       Show help
    -v,--version    Show version and author info
    -g, --git       add all changes to git and create commit message

Example

$ bump "Your bump message"

The above command will create (or write to) a bump.txt file in the current directory with your bump message and the date in the format [MM/DD/YYYY]. That's it.

Note The last parameter is always assumed to be the message unless you specifiy it with -m. If you write

$ bump "a message" -g

the message will be -g.

Advanced

You can set an environmental variable named _bump_default_git which is written in front of your git commit message when using the -g flag. Choose the way to set the variable that best suites your needs.

inline

$ export _bump_default_git="[WIP]" && bump -g "Testing things"

.bashrc, .zshrc, or any other runtime file used by your terminal

# inside ~/.zshrc
export _bump_default_git="[DEV]"

The default set inside the script is [BUMP].
