Peek::Git

Take a peek into the Git info of your Rails application.

Things this peek view provides:

• View the current branch name
• Compare the diff of the current revision on your GitHub repo

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'peek-git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install peek-git

Usage

Add the following to your config/initializers/peek.rb:

Peek.into Peek::Views::Git

You will need to set the GitHub project's name with owner if you plan on comparing the current ref against your default branch on GitHub.

# nwo - name with owner - owner/name
Peek.into Peek::Views::Git, :nwo => 'dewski/json_builder'

You can also manually set each of the following optional options:

• SHA
• Default Branch (master by default)
• Branch Name
• Domain Name (github.com by default)
• Protocol (https by default)

Peek.into Peek::Views::Git, \
  :sha => '740f6b7b11b8717efaf51ddb98ce23394544f7e0',
  :default_branch => 'rails4.0',
  :branch_name => 'integration',
  :domain => 'github.com',
  :protocol => 'https'

Using Peek::Git on Heroku

Unfortunately Heroku removes the .git directory during slug compilation which doesn't make it possible to view the current deployed SHA or branch.

The one workaround is to set the GIT_SHA and GIT_BRANCH ENV variables within your deploy process.
