# intello-shipit-cli

## Description

Shipit CLI is a gem created by Intello's development team.

Designed to simplify collaboration with Git and Gitlab, its main purpose is to kickstart working on an issue. Here's what it does :

1. Create a new branch (local & remote) using a standardized name.
2. Add & push a first empty commit to that branch.
3. Create a new merge request on Gitlab, with all the issue details.

## Requirements

- Ruby 2.5+
- A `gitlab` personal access token (`https://{{ YOUR_GITLAB_HOST  }}/profile/personal_access_tokens`)
- Issues must have a label and a milestone

`intello-shipit-cli` works as well on gitlab.com as on a privately hosted instance of Gitlab

## Install/Update

```bash
gem install intello-shipit-cli
```

> NOTE: If you use a ruby manager, the gem has to be installed each time you want to use it in a new ruby context.

### PROTIP

If you use rbenv as your ruby manager, and want to easily install/update `intello-shipit-cli` across all your rubies:

1. Install [rbenv-each](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv-each)
1. Run `rbenv each gem install intello-shipit-cli`

## Setup

You must first setup `intello-shipit-cli` by running:

```bash
shipit setup
```

This will interactivly ask you for:

- Your Gitlab server instance API endpoint. If your using gitlab.com this endpoint is `https://gitlab.com/api/v4`
- Your Gitlab personal API token

The setup will create a file in your user root folder called `.shipit.yml` with this information.

### PROTIP

If you have multiple Gitlab servers or account you can manually create configuration YAML files and use the `-c` option of `intello-shipit-cli` to select the proper configuration.

For example you can have a configuration file ` ~/.shipit_personal.yml` for your peronal account an to use that you would invoke `intello-shipit-cli` with: `shipit -c ~/.shipit_personal.yml work 22`.

### Check your configuration

```bash
$ shipit settings
```

### Usage

The most often used command is `work` this is the command that will create a branch and merge request based on a ticket in the project you are currently working.

Let's take an example. We have the project 'test_shipit' already checked-out and we have issue #1 (Major bug with UI) that we want to start working on.

Without `intello-shipit-cli` you would either go in the Gitlab Web UI and create a branch and then open a merge request on that branch or do the same with a bunch of git CLI commands. The resulting merge request and branch names would vary from one developer to the other and would be a pain to do things like changelogs later on.

With `intello-shipit-cli` you simply run `shipit work 1` and it will do it all for you:

```

As you can see it created the branch `bug-ac-1-major-bug-with-ui` which corresponds to the issue label (first one selected if multiple are selected), the initials of the developper working on the issue and part of the issue title.

It will also have created a matching merge request:
