Team aliases for polyglot developers

• Currently supports maven/gradle (for Java/Groovy/Spring Boot) and grunt/gulp (for JavaScript/Angular)
• Developed by Brian Westrich ([email protected]) and Rob Danek ([email protected], [email protected])

Key commands

building with multiple build tools (maven, gradle, grunt, gulp)

  utest: run unit tests
  run: run application
  go: pre-commit (clean build, run unit and functional tests)
  build: build deployable artifact 

working with git

  git new-branch: create a branch
  git addall: add all to git
  gsp: git smart pull
  git create-pull-request: create a (bitbucket) pull request
  see gitconfig-aliases for complete list

other commands (tool specific)

  refresh: run gradle refresh 
  rgo: run gradle refresh, then run 'go'
  j{#} (where # = 6, 7, or 8): set Java version
  gsp: git smart-pull that does a "smarter" pull (handles upstream branching and possibly stashes changes if needed)
  gs: git status -sb, nicer git status display.

updating aliases (both team and individual)

  ea: edit team aliases (do a git commit and push to share with team)
  eb: edit bash_profile

Installing

• optional: change the MY_TEAM environment variable in the team-aliases file to a variable name of your choice
• add commands in sample-include-in-bash-profile to .bash_profile (adjusting accordingly for any changes to the name of the MY_TEAM variable)
• source ~./bash_profile

To use git-smart (called by the gsp alias), install it with gem as follows:

• sudo gem install git-smart

More git aliases

• copy the aliases from gitconfig-aliases to your ~/.gitconfig file. Then these can be used such as "git co" instead of "git checkout".

Ideas for contributions

• We're interested in ideas on how one might do the optional 1st step in the installation instructions (changing the name of the MY_TEAM env var) without having to make local changes to the team-aliases file, as this would make it easier to use the cloned git repo and provide pull requests back to it.
