git-inside-branch

git-inside-branch allows you to inspect and modify another branch in a temporarily directory without affecting current working tree.

Usage

From command line

git inside-branch doc_branch bash

This will checkout doc_branch and run bash. Then you edit your docs with vim or emacs, commit the results and exit bash.

git inside-branch gh_pages "cp $HOME/projects/my_proj/rdoc . && git add . && git commit -am 'Doc updates' && git push"

From ruby

Git::Inside::Branch.tempory_checkout("gh_pages") do
  `cp $HOME/projects/my_lib/rdoc .`
  `git commit -a -m 'Doc updates' && git push`
end

I think is easy.

Documentation

  • Git::Inside::Branch.tempory_checkout( branch_name, *&block* )

    Run the code passed in the block in another temporarily checkouted directory from the branch branch_name
