Warden

Warden is a tool for managing repository ownership.

Ownership of a specific area is signified by creating a .warden file in the folder, any subfolders are also owned by that warden, unless another .warden file exists.

Warden compares your current working branch against default to generate a list of changes, then identify the person from the relevant warden file for a change path.

Installation

Warden requires Node.js v4+ to run.

Then:

$ npx repository-warden

Usage

Repository-warden takes a few commands,

$ warden -V, --version

Will print the version number.

$ warden -h, --help

Will print a simple 'help' message with a summary of commands.

$ warden dir <file path>

Will print warden file information for the given directory within the project. If no path is given, defaults to current working directory.

$ warden

Without commands, will print warden file information for every change on your branch against default.

Development

Clone this repo from GitHub, navigate to the root directory of repository-warden:

$ cd path/to/repository-warden/

And create a link token with:

$ yarn link

Provide this link token to your project repository with:

$ yarn link repository-warden

This will override your global installation with the locally served code.

Now, back to the repository-warden path:

$ yarn watch

Will start serving the local version of the program.

Calls to warden from your linked project repository will respond from this local version.
