A Ruby-aware git layer

Retrieve blame, perform diffs, make commits using the natural units of Ruby code.

pry-git enables you to diff an individual method , it can show you the blame for a method and ultimately allow you to commit 'methods' (rather than amorphous 'hunks' of code).

pry-git is a plugin for the pry REPL.

pry-git is very much proof of concept right now, stay tuned!

• Install the gem: gem install pry-git
• See the source code

pry(main)> git blame Pry#repl

John Mair     target = Pry.binding_for(target)
John Mair     target_self = target.eval('self')

       end
     end

     return_value = repl_epilogue(target, nesting_level, break_data)
     return_value || target_self
   end

Note that .git invokes the system git command (a . prefix forwards the line to the shell, see: shell commands)

pry(main) git add Pry#repl
pry(main) .git diff --cached
diff --git a/lib/pry/pry_instance.rb b/lib/pry/pry_instance.rb

• Just a proof of concept at this stage.
• The methods you're invoking the git commands on must be part of a git repo (of course).
• Commands currently just work with respect to HEAD; this restriction will be lifted in a later version.
• BETA software, beware!
