Installation

You can install bowie in multiple ways.

Go

go get github.com/mattstratton/bowie

Homebrew

brew install mattstratton/tap/bowie

Yum

yum install ... TODO: Not yet available

Apt

apt-get ... TODO: Not yet available

Chocolatey

choco ... TODO: Not yet available

Usage

bowie -u [username] -p [projectname]

Where [username] is your GitHub user or organization (i.e., "mattstratton" or "google"), and [projectname] is the name of the GitHub project (i.e., "bowie").

If you doing specify a user and org, it will try to infer it based upon the git remote set as origin TODO: This doesn't work yet.

There will be other flags later. Also, remember to set the environment variable BOWIE_GITHUB_TOKEN or use the -t flag to pass it at the command line (TODO: add details on the token)

GitHub token

bowie requires a GitHub token to function.

Follow these steps:

• Generate a token here - you only need "repo" scope for private repositories
• Either:
  • Run the script with --token <your-40-digit-token>; OR
  • Set the BOWIE_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to your 40 digit token

You can set an environment variable by running the following command at the prompt, or by adding it to your shell profile (e.g., ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc):

export BOWIE_GITHUB_TOKEN="«your-40-digit-github-token»"
