Babar

Babar is a simple gem to help remember post-merge actions and manage git hooks on a per-project basis. It alerts you to changes to specific files, and can automatically take actions when those files are changed.

By default, Babar will remind you to rake db:migrate and bundle whenever you merge in changes to db/schema.rb or Gemfile respectively.

Just want a simple git hook? See this gist for the genesis of this project.

Usage

gem install babar  # Or add to Gemfile and bundle
babar install      # To configure your .git/hooks/

Once installed, you will be notified whenever you merge (or pull) in changes to a watched file.

Customizing

Babar looks for a Hookfile in your root directory. The default Hookfile is:

action 'Gemfile'      => 'bundle',          :auto => false
action 'db/schema.rb' => 'rake db:migrate', :auto => false

Adding :auto => true will cause an action to be automatically executed whenever a matching file changes.

TODO

• Add generator to create default Hookfile in project
