Prerequisites:

1. We have a current version of git locally installed.

• OSX: First install homebrew package manager and use it to install git: $ brew install git
• Win: Install git4win or install scoop package manager and use it to install git: $ scoop install git
• Linux: $ apt-get install git
  • NOTE: OLDER Linux Versions May Need To Tell apt-get Where To Find Latest Git

2. We have configured git locally.

$ git config --global user.name "John Appleseed"

$ git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

3. We have been using git and github to manage online project assets, from media to source code.

4. We desire expert use of git and githob.

5. We want to preemptively avoid code project bloat by tracking our git repo sizes.

Automate Execution As Git Hook

$ echo 'bash git-repo-stats.sh' > .git/hooks/pre-commit; chmod 777 .git/hooks/pre-commit

$ git add .

$ git commit -m 'Added automation via soft link pre-commit hook.'

Suggestions to reduce repo size.

⚠️ Warning: CODE BLOAT IS A BAD SIGN!!

1. Add a .gitgnore file to omit repo sub-directories which we do NOT want to share.

2. Learn about testing your code and tracking dependencies.

3. Use git tree or git submodule.

4. To reduce .git/ subfolder size: delete it, reset project repo, reinitialize with git, add, commit.

$ rm -rf .git; git init; git add . ; git commit -m 'First commit or reset repo.'

Enhancements

1. Functionalize this tool and make that functions library a dependency.

2. Finish team dev dojo I, II, III.

3. Post about projects on LinkedIn and BigDataProcessing.
