Getting Started

GitRay is a command-line tool designed to assist beginners with common GitHub activities, especially those used at Liferay. It simplifies interactions with GitHub, such as sending, listing, and fetching pull requests from forks.

Please note that this project is under development and may not fulfill all your needs. If you require a more robust solution, we recommend using GitHub CLI or Node-GH.

This project drew inspiration from Node-GH.

Requirements

Node.js >= 14.8.0 Git >= 1.7.0

Installation

npm i -g zx
npm install
npm link

After running npm link, an alias will be added to your bash. You can use gitray in any Git project to check if it's working.

Configuration

After setting up GitRay, open a terminal and run the gitray command to start the initial configuration process. Follow these steps:

1. What is your GitHub username: Enter your GitHub username.

2. What is your GitHub Signature: This signature is used when you are fetching a pull request from someone, and a message is added there.

3. What is your GitHub Token: You need to create a GitHub Personal Access Token for this. Here's how:

   • Log in to your GitHub account.
   • Go to the GitHub Personal Access Tokens page.
   • Generate a new token:
     • Provide a name for the token.
     • Set the expiration date (we suggest choosing a longer expiration date or no expiration for this token).
     • Under "Select Scopes," check all the boxes inside the repo section.
   • Click "Generate Token."
   • Copy the generated token inside the green box and use it as your GitHub Token in this CLI.

4. What is your Branch Prefix: When fetching a pull request from someone, a branch is created using this prefix and the Pull Request ID. For example, if you are fetching Pull Request #100 from is-solutions-delivery/liferay-portal, a branch called pr-100 will be created.

After completing the initial configuration, GitRay will be ready for use.
