✨ git-clean-forge-fork ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and specifically to git-clean-forge-fork</p> β€” the little script that makes you tidy fork PRs on your fave git forge πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

git-clean-forge-fork β€” create tidy forks for pull requests πŸŽ€

πŸ¦‹ VERSION πŸ¦‹

version 0.007 ✨ (yes, a real version, slay)

πŸ’– SYNOPSIS πŸ’–

git clean-forge-fork [--upstream=REMOTE]

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so like, this thing creates a fork for proposing changes to a project that lives on a git forge β€” you know, GitHub, GitLab, the whole vibe 🌈

and the way it configures the fork to make it obvious that it only exists for submitting changes? iconic. it means your fork clutters up your git forge profile a bit less, which is honestly a public service fr fr 🫢

it also adds a fork remote β€” that's the one you push your proposed changes to, no cap πŸ’«

πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • --upstream=REMOTE β€” tell it the name of the upstream git remote, aka the thing you wanna fork. defaults to "origin" if you don't say otherwise πŸ¦‹

πŸ“ FILES πŸ“

  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/gitforge/access_tokens/DOMAIN β€” okay so DOMAIN is the domain name of the git forge, like "github.com" or "salsa.debian.org", and this file should contain an API access token so you can log in to your account at the git forge πŸ”‘ if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset, it defaults to ~/.config β€” noted, bestie πŸ’œ
