tiger is a a command line tool that wraps git in order to extend it with extra features and commands to make
your life wonderful. In a way it's like hub but not tied to GitHub.
λ tiger st
# forward to git st
λ tiger rebase foo bar
# […]
λ tiger pr 1234
# […]One of the feature of tiger is hooks being run on any commands. It can allows you to do some pretty nifty things.
Several hooks are built-in tiger but as it's almost just commands run at certain point of time, it's pretty composable
and easy to defines yours.
An example is something I use with nixos and direnv. I like to have an .envrc and a default.nix that sets up
my development environment on a specific folder. But sometimes, these files are not present in an upstream project I
don't control. I tend to ignore them globally but I want to be able to keep them updated across my different working
station.
λ ls
λ tiger st
🐅 nix-direnv detected for this repo, files not present, updating the files
λ ls
# […]
# Later, the file has been update (by some other means)
λ tiger fetch
🐅 nix-direnv detected for this repo, files out of date, updating the files
