jebediah

Jebediah will astound you with his knowledge of names and their corresponding hashes.

Git commit hashes are nice. They uniquely identify the state of a repository: 1234abc

but sometimes, it's hard to read a commit hash over the phone. 3, b, c, d and e all sound similar. It's also pretty hard to remember a hash. Jebediah creates a reversable map between commit hashes, and friendly, memorable names: 1234abc <-> "chipperly divided snake"

$ gem install jebediah

$ jeb 1234abc
chipperly divided snake

$ jeb chipperly divided snake
1234abc

The jeb for a commit can be construed as unflattering. If you want to cycle the commit of a git repo until it is acceptable, use the jebcycle tool:

$ jebcycle 
unfamiliarly balanced cougar? y/n n
vainly guaranteed mongoose? y/n n
cheekily urged coyote? y/n n
two-handedly remained finch? y/n n
therapeutically tabulated hamster? y/n y

jebcycle applies empty amended commits to change the commit hash without lengthing the commit history.

Jebediah plays nicely as a ruby library.

require 'jebediah'

jeb = Jebediah.new
jeb.process("1234abc") # => {:type=>"phrase", :result=>["chipperly", "divided", "snake"]}
jeb.process(["chipperly", "divided", "snake"]) # => {:type=>"hash", :result=>"1234abc"}
jeb.process("chipperly divided snake") # => {:type=>"hash", :result=>"1234abc"}
