Git shell prompt daemon Status: Proposed Summary of idea: Fedora packaging is heavily dependant on git. Without specialized git tools, maintenance of tens or hundreds of Fedora packages can become tedious. This project is about implementing a deamon which would listen on named pipe to requests from system shell (like bash) and it would respond with command line prompt dependant on context (like status of git repository in given directory) and user configuration. The core of the daemon should not rely on git, but instead be written using plugin framework allowing different plugins to be implemented. Each plugin could provide different information to be displayed in shell prompt. Besides the core, a git plugin should be implemented. This plugin should not call git executable, but instead use a git library (such as libgit2 which has bindings for many languages). Knowledge prerequisite: Git, Linux, any programming language which has bindings for libgit2 [1] Skill level: Medium Contacts: Mikolaj Izdebski [2] Mentor(s): Mikolaj Izdebski [2], Stanislav Ochotnicky [3] (backup) [1]: http://libgit2.github.com/ [2]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Mizdebsk [3]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Sochotni Regards, rtnpro -- Ratnadeep Debnath, https://www.waartaa.com GPG Fingerprint: 033C 8041 A0E9 CDBA 2E02 B785 2119 5486 F245 DFD6 _______________________________________________ summer-coding mailing list summer-coding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding
