pvgit

pvgit is a pipeviz message producer for working with git repositories. It has two basic operations:

1. pvgit sync will report all the refs (branches and tags) in a repository, as well as the current HEAD. If -a is passed, it will also send the repository’s entire commit history.
2. pvgit instrument is used to set up post-commit and/or post-checkout hooks on a git repository. These will automatically inform a pipeviz daemon whenever commits are made or branches are changed.

See the help output for each command for more details.

Installation

This package uses glide to manage dependencies. It also relies on git2go for git interactions via libgit2, which means installation involves CGO. Installing libgit2 is an OS/distro-specific process, so see git2go docs on that.

Once libgit2 is findable by pkg-config and glide is on your $PATH, run make && make install to install pvgit.
