GHTags

So, you're using something like Envoyer and sebastian/version doesn't work?

Then you can use GHTags!

Requirements

• PHP 8.0+
• PHP SQLite3 extension
• GitHub Personal Access Token (only "repo" scope is required)

About

GHTags is a simple tool for getting your projects tags from GitHub. This includes private repositories (as long as you have enabled access to them).

GHTags was created because I wanted to use sebastian/version for my projects, but it didn't work, as Envoyer doesn't use the actual Git repository, and instead downloads the latest version as a tarball. So I would be getting the "vfatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git" error. Sure, there are some workarounds, like making a subdirectory of where you're actually cloning your repo to the actual repo, but I didn't want to deal with that, as I wanted to lower my storage usage.

Installation

Installing is as simple as a composer install:

composer global require ecwebservices/ghtags

Once you've done that, you'll need to create a Personal Access Token in your GitHub account. If you set the expiration date to "Never", you'll be able to use it forever.

The token will need to have the "repo" scope. This allows you to get the tags from your repos.

Then we'll run the setup command:

ghtags setup

Once you've done that, you can head to Usage and see how to use GHTags.

If you ever want to change your token, you can run the set:key command.

ghtags set:key <token>

Usage

Initialization

To initialize GHTags, run the setup command from the root of your project:

ghtags repo:new

ghtags update

This will get all the tags from the repo and update the database with the tags.

Syncing Tags

ghtags sync:all

This will get the latest tags from the repo and update your tag file.

Use this command to remove all the tags from the database and get them again.
