git-whereami

Append your location to all of our git commits!

Do you travel a lot? Would you team be interesetd to know where your code is coming from? Then this is for you!

1. Install whereami

• Head on over to https://github.com/robmathers/WhereAmI and download the whereami excecutable. Place it in your home folder, like ~/whereami

2. In whichever git repository you want to use this on, copy the prepare-commit-msg into ~/PROJECT/.git/hooks.

That's it!

Now, whenever you make a git commit, we will use whereami to source yoru lat/lng, and then ask Google's geocoder what your address is, resulting in:

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 4 commits.
#   (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
#
# Changes to be committed:
#       new file:   newfile
