[ANNOUNCE] git-flow AVH Edition 1.7.0

[Peter van der Does]

We are pleased to announce the release of git-flow AVH Edition 1.7.0

git-flow AVH Edition is a collection of git extensions to provide
high-level repository operations for Vincent Driessen's branching
model.
The AVH Edition adds more functionality to the original git-flow[1] and
several of the internal commands have been rewritten to speed up the
software.

The release tar-ball and zip file can be found at:

    https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/releases


git-flow AVH Edition is compatible with the following systems:
    Linux
    BSD
    Mac OS X
    Windows


Installation instructions for these systems can be found at:

    https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/wiki#installing-git-flow



git-flow AVH Edition 1.7.0 Release Notes
========================================
* Refactor the gitflow override flag functions.

* Shortcut for finish, delete, and publish commands. 
  Introduce the following new commands: 
  * git flow finish
  * git flow delete
  * git flow publish
 
  These commands will perform the action on the branch that's currently
  active.

* No branch is needed for the following function: 
  * git flow feature publish/finish/delete
  * git flow release publish/finish/delete
  * git flow hotfix publish/finish/delete
 
* Remove base configuration when deleting a feature/hotfix/release
  branch.

* Help text for certain commands is wrong.

* Bugfix: Invalid function call.

* Bugfix: No make installer fails

* Support branches are no longer marked as experimental.
 
* Fix sanity check for release track command.

* Fix feature pull. 
  The pull request fails when there's no local branch with the same
  name as the remote branch.
 
* Option for global hooks and filters directory. 
  This is only for hooks and filters related to git-flow, not the
  standard git hooks.

Hi, peter,

Thanks for your work!

Btw, I saw you discussion about git-flow-clone here [1]. Do you have any plan

to add this sub command in the future?

Cheers,

I didn't have the plan, but I see the original git-flow-clone has not been updated in a year, so I guess a new command clone could be helpful.

I created an issue (https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/issues/130) if you want to weigh in on the implementation.

Hey All,

I am new to git flow and and have a couple of questions.

1) I recently installed git flow from the nvie/gitflow repo which is reporting as v0.4.2-pre, is the AVH Edition a more active stream?  You guys have done a fair few releases since 0.4.2.

2) Should I consider the AVH Edition the "main" stream of dev? does nvie still do releases?

3) If I switch to the AVH Edition, how do I upgrade?  Can I just re-run the install scripts or do I have to remove some old scripts.

All a bit newbie I'm afraid, but I'm trying to introduce git glow at my company and want to understand a bit more

Ian,

To answer your questions:

1) We try to improve and enhance the software on a regular basis. If you
check the whole changelog you will see what we've done. On github you
can check some commit statistics.

2) We believe it is the "main stream". but we are bias of course :) As
far as nvie doing releases, as mentioned in the footnote of the
original post: "The original set of extensions have not been updated
since 2012 and the last release was done in 2010". With original we
meant nvie's version.

3) To start using the AVH Edition you just install it. No need to
uninstall the previous version.

IMHO, it's actually pity Vincent hasn't posted any statement yet.
As a project founder, if he does not have time or interest in maintaining it,
he should notify to users of his software and direct them to the AVH Edition
as the current and actively maintained version of what Vincent has created.
I imagine it would be right thing to do for project sustainability and
'unconfusion' of users.

How would I update to the current develop branch if I had installed the development version on Linux such as described here https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow/wiki/Installing-on-Linux,-Unix,-etc. a week ago?

[Peter van der Does]

Markus,

You can just run the command again. If you want to keep up with the
bleeding edge (aka develop), I would recommend the following:

- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- When you want to update do a git pull.
- Run "make install"

Hi Peter,

ok, so I used the repo as put in place by the installer script... git pull inside works as usual (no need to do another clone), just have to become root to run make install inside it so it can but stuff in /usr/local/...

Cheers,

Markus

Hey Peter,

Brilliant, thanks for the info, I'll switch over a take a look.  Good work all for keeping this going.

hey peter, et al -

  i've been a happy use of git-flow and at this time need to figure out a means to version project files. quite a few google/stackoverflow results pointed me to git-flow-avh, which i have installed and am quite comfortable with. specifically i really like the one-line release branch command:

  % export VERSION=`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`; echo "VERSION=$VERSION"; git flow release branch "$VERSION"  -m "$VERSION" -p --showcommand

  this works awesomely, but i'd now like to inject the version into the release, namely maven pom files. i have hacked around with a number of [ws]/.git/hooks files ... eg 

post-flow-release-start) but they don't look to get executed. i have chmod 755 the hook files.

  thoughts? i could really use a pointer on this item.

  much appreciated,

- james
