Peek::Git

Take a peek into the Git info of your Rails application.

Things this peek view provides:

• View the current branch name
• Compare the diff of the current revision on your GitHub repo

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'peek-git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install peek-git

Add the following to your config/initializers/peek.rb:

Peek.into Peek::Views::Git

You will need to set the GitHub project's name with owner if you plan on comparing the current ref against your default branch on GitHub.

# nwo - name with owner - owner/name
Peek.into Peek::Views::Git, :nwo => 'dewski/json_builder'

You can also manually set each of the following optional options:

• SHA
• Default Branch (master by default)
• Branch Name
• Domain Name (github.com by default)
• Protocol (https by default)

Peek.into Peek::Views::Git, \
  :sha => '740f6b7b11b8717efaf51ddb98ce23394544f7e0',
  :default_branch => 'rails4.0',
  :branch_name => 'integration',
  :domain => 'github.com',
  :protocol => 'https'

Unfortunately Heroku removes the .git directory during slug compilation which doesn't make it possible to view the current deployed SHA or branch.

The one workaround is to set the GIT_SHA and GIT_BRANCH ENV variables within your deploy process.

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
