A Magit clone

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:55:46 +0000

I’ve got a clone of Magit which I’ve been hacking away at. It’s mostly a bunch of git-svn fixes/features as that’s what I use for work but there’s some other stuff that might be of interest. It includes the following branches (all merged into their master at gitorious):

fancier-diffs: Some basic highlighting of the commit sha and of the diff markers (just the diff markers, not the whole line).

fancy-log-pt1: Some new faces for the log buffer: magit-log-graph, magit-log-sha1, magit-log-message, magit-log-head-label-remote, magit-log-head-label-tags and magit-log-head-label-local. They should give a clue as to what this branch is for…

git-svn-fixes-and-features: Basically makes git-svn work again.

squashable-merges: Giving a prefix arg to magit-merge will allow you to squash it (handy for git-svn if your colleagues aren’t used to seeing lots of commits in trunk).

magit-completing-read: Lets you use anything-completing-read or ido-completing-read for… completion.

svn-find-rev: Hitting N f with prompt for an SVN revision and give you the commit if it’s in the current branch. With a prefix arg you will be prompted for a branch in which to look.

Like I said, all of the above is in master so you can just download magit.el from there and you’ll get it all.

Etest updates

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:50:33 +0100

I’ve made a couple of changes to etest to try and up its presence a little.

Firstly Ive merged what was three files into one which will make etest much easier to install for the casual passer-by.

Secondly, though repo.or.cz is excellent, I’ve moved the project to the more community aware github and so now there’s an issue tracker, a wiki and the ability to watch the project.

So, new install instructions might be:

Download etest.el.
Add to load-path.
(require ’etest)

Much more simple (though the make, make install will still do what you expect). Here’s the manual. Here’s the emacswiki page entry.

Lessen a URL with smallurl.el

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 22:57:46 +0000

I’ve uploaded a simple module that allows the tinyfication of URLs.

There are two interactive functions… with which you might want to interact:

smallurl-replace-at-point: Replace the url at point with a tiny one.

smallurl: Print and put into the kill ring the tiny version of the url prompted for.

Grab it here.
