git-monitor 0.1.1

Automatic print the git status of the package your are developing.

Use Case

This project is intended to improve datascience workflows. You may want to do these simultaneously:

1. Developing a package (the package project), possibly a machine learning model or a data pipeline.
2. Perform some experiments in another project (the experiment project) by such package project by running a jupyter notebook or a script.
3. Log the git status of the package for reproducibiliy.

git-monitor help you to conviniently log the git status.

If we don't want the notebooks to polute the package project, we have to separate the experiment project from the package project, then we cannot track everying directly in a single git repo. This problem is what git-monitor built for.

How to

1. Install git-monitor into the environment of your package project.
2. Make a .git_monitor file in the experiment project:

<pkg-nm-1>=<pkg-path-1>
<pkg-nm-2>=<pkg-path-2>

3. In the root __init__.py of the package project, add the lines:

import git_monitor
git_monitor.Monitor.by_env("<pkg-nm-1>")

Then everytime you import or reload the package project, git-monitor will print the git status, including current branch, commit hash, untracked files and modified files.
