A small cli to like and receive likes four your code in a git controlled code base.
Project description
git-like
Give your coworkers the appreciation they deserve without enduring the complex dynamics of social interaction.
When browsing the code base of coworkers or open-source projects I often find myself appreciating the work of my fellow coders. Be it because they found a smart solution for a problem or just because they kept to a certain style guide we committed on. However, with communication being can be a tedious task which distracts the sender as well as the receiver, this appreciation stays usually in my head.
Git-like is a small CLI which aims to make everyday life of us programmers a bit more collaborative, fun and finally - rewarding.
The concept is quite simple. Whenever you find a nice piece of code, you like it by typing something like
$ git-like like FILE FROM_LINE TO_LINE
and the author contributing most to the block of code you select receives a like in shape of a notification. In between all the frustrations which come with coding, this will give him a small positive incentive to continue his good work. A digitial clap on the shoulder.
By using information from your git configuration, git-likes setup is minimal.
Setup
You are 4 steps apart from liking and receiving likes:
1) Installation
$ pip install git-like
2) Claiming your email address
To prevent other people from using your email, you need to claim it. Therefore, we will email you an access code.
$ git-like claim YOUR-EMAIL
$ git-like claim YOUR-EMAIL --code ACCESS_CODE
3) Starting the daemon
git-like comes with a lightweight background process checking for new likes. You can start and stop it by using the cli.
$ git-like start
$ git-like stop
Integrations
A Jetbrains Intellij plugin is WIP.
