git-tools - A package of tools for working with git repositories

• Needs to have git, autopep8, and pep8.

• Install to /usr/local/bin

Use sudo python setup.py install

• Install to ~/.local/bin

Use python setup.py install --user

• git-pep8 Iterates over all the python files in a repository and applies pep8 fixes. The frequency of commit ranges from every file/error pair to once per run. Automatic commit comment describes contents of change. Author for the commit is taken from git config or the --author command line option.

• git-pep8 -r

Apply autopep8 down a source tree, starting from the current directory

• git-pep8 --recurse ~/workspace/git-tools/src

Apply autopep8 down a source tree, starting from STARTDIR

• git-pep8 --author=pep8

Attribute all changes applied to the user pep8

1. all: checks for all errors over all files and commits to git once
2. by-file-only: iterate over files applying all errors at once, one commit per file
3. by reason-only: iterate over error types applying to all files at once, one commit per error type
4. by-file-and-reason: iterate over each error-file pair, committing once per error-file pair The default is by-file-and-reason. Many developers find this produces too many commits to examine. It does have the advantage that it is easy to examine a commit and see the scope of the change and the reason given for the change.

This script creates four branches, one for each method of running git-pep8. Try it out to see which set of commits works best for you.

git checkout master
git branch -D all
git checkout -b all
git-pep8 -r -v -m all src/

git checkout master
git branch -D by-file-and-reason
git checkout -b by-file-and-reason
git-pep8 -r -v -m by-file-and-reason src/

git checkout master
git branch -D by-file-only
git checkout -b by-file-only
git-pep8 -r -v -m by-file-only src/

git checkout master
git branch -D by-reason-only
git checkout -b by-reason-only
git-pep8 -r -v -m by-reason-only src/
