Description:

Hitch allows developers to be properly credited when Pair Programming and using Git.

Features:

Persists pair(s) between different terminal instances.
Creates a unique email address for the pair. (e.g. dev+fry+leela@hashrocket.com) This provides the ability to create a Gravatar for the pair.
Allows you to expire the pair information in N hours. e.g. hitch --expire 8 fry leela

Synopsis:

For leela and fry to pair:
- hitch leela fry
To override group email:
- hitch leela fry -g dev@hashrocket.com
To clear pair info:
- hitch -u
For a complete list of features:
- hitch -h
Creating a Gravatar for your pair:
- Once I've hitched with my pair. (e.g. hitch leela fry) I have now created a unique email: dev+fry+leela@hashrocket.com
- Then, I go to gravatar.com. Add an image to that particular email address and I'm done.

Install:

gem install hitch
chruby users run this:

<pre><code>for x in $(chruby | cut -c 3- | awk '{print $1}'); do chruby $x && gem install hitch; done</code></pre>

rvm users run this:

<pre><code>for x in $(rvm list strings); do rvm use $x@global && gem install hitch; done</code></pre>

rbenv users run this:

<pre><code>for x in $(rbenv versions | cut -c 3- | awk '{print $1}'); do rbenv shell $x && gem install hitch; done</code></pre>

hitch --setup >> ~/.bashrc
- this prints out the necessary shell function and aliases you need to add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
Or copy/paste the code into your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
As another option, copy/symlink the script to a separate file (e.g. ~/.bash/hitch.sh or /etc/profile.d/hitch.sh) and source it. You can get the path using hitch --setup-path.

Development:

It's easier if you use rvm.
Fork hitch
When you cd into the directory the .rvmrc will activate and create a hitch gemset
Add tests and code for your feature
Create a pull request
Double-check TravisCI to make sure all tests pass

Requirements:

Git, HighLine
