README
osagitfilter
============
Filter to put [OSA][] languages into a `git`-repository. So you can put your `.scpt`-file (AppleScript, JavaScript) into your git-repository, and get full textual diff support.
Installation
------------
Either clone [this repository](https://github.com/doekman/osagitfilter), or download the [latest release](https://github.com/doekman/osagitfilter/releases/latest) and unzip it to a folder where you want to install it.
Configure the filter by running the following command:
./setup.sh configure
For every reporistory you want to use it, put the line `*.scpt filter=osa` in the [gitattributes][] of your repository. Do this by running the command below in the root of your repository:
echo "*.scpt filter=osa" >> .gitattributes
Extra's
-------
If you want to add your own git configuration, use the following configure command:
./setup.sh configure --no-git
To reset the configuration, run this command:
./setup.sh reset
If you have trouble with the script, switch on logging with:
./setup.sh configure --git-log
Logging can be found in `~/Library/Logs/Catsdeep/osagitfilter.log` and can be easy inspected with `Console.app`.
Some git-clients, like GitHub Desktop, can be quite chatty so log files grow quite fast. With the following command you can create a new log file, while preserving the old ones:
./setup.sh rotate
Default, it prevents from accidently committing AppleScript files with Debugging Mode (from [AppleScript Debugger][asdbg]) switched on. Run `osagitfilter --help` to see more options.
I've setup a [demo repository][demo] with different `.scpt`-files.
Problems
--------
If you want to (re-)apply osagitfilter to a repository (for example, if you already added your binary `.scpt` file to git, but want to use osagitfilter), execute the following statement:
git add --renormalize .
