A Max/MSP patch for integrating git directly into your patch.
This patch is still very new and under development, use at your own risk! Please report issues and I will happily fix them :)
This currently implements only a few of the many powerful things you can do with git.
git init && git remote add origin <remote_repository_URL>
Initialize your local directory to git url
git add .
This will mark new files for addition into the git repository
git commit -a -m "<your_message_here>"
Make sure to include your git commit message so you know what change you made!
This will "commit" your changes, marking them as ready to push to your repository.
git push --rebase
This will actually push your code up to your repository. --rebase will safely ensure you don't mix up your commits with those of other people working on the code, or yourself working on another computer.
git status
This will display the git status of your project. It will show any files changed, current branch, commits ready to be pushed, etc.
git reset --hard @{u}
Reset to upstream branch (make it match what is on github)
git reset --hard HEAD^
Undo changes since the last commit
git log
This will show you a list of recent commits, in chronological order, with the most recent at the top.
git checkout origin <branch_name> and git checkout -b origin <branch_name>
- checkout branch and create new branch
git config
- setting all the git config options
git stash save "<name>"
- stashing changes to undo them, but save for later
I currently don't have any merging stuff in here, because:
- I haven't done it with a Max project yet
- I hear it's very tricky to merge because of the nature of the .maxpat files (Max apparently often reorganizes the inner code, which makes git think there's a lot more changes than there really are)
- I would like to create some sort of git diff tool for max (for examining changes from one version to the next)
