Prologue

This stuff needs python3. Comes with the distros I use.

gj scripts

These are helper scripts for git and other things I felt like automating.

Most useful:

check-patch

Automate running checkpatch for the kernel.

update-shared

Assume you have a .../shared/kernel.org.git which is a pristine copy of Linus's tree and use 'git clone -s' from that - then update-shared goes to that tree, downloads the latest from master then updates the local tree origin/master to that same value.

Sort of like a 'git fetch' that is cached in the shared place.

edit-comments

Is like rebase but only for comments. It directly, rapidly and non-invasively lets you edit commit comments. Absolutely everything else stays the same about the commits except for the commit ID, and it can work across merges

ko-ssh

Prompt for the 2FA value and open a write capable k.o ssh session. Assumes the kernel.org account has 2FA enabled

review

For looking at gerrit stuff outside gerrit where it is fast. Make a diff navigable by emacs and automate a few steps here.

reply-email/ack-emails

Assuming you have a gmail account that gets all list emails these scripts use it as a database to reply to specific messages. eg you can reply from a patchworks thread using the patchworks message id. Searchs gmail, downloads the messages and runs mutt.

ack-emails does the above automatically driven by applied patches and patchworks bundle files.

Bit insane, but whatever. :|

linus-check-merge/linus-pull-request/ko-status/to-zero-day

Support the k.o workflow Doug I and I use.
