Usage
- Go to your favorite terminal, and enter:
ezgit
- The first time it will ask you to login with your Azure Active Directory Account
- You should get a “GitHub identity created successfully” message
- Start using your favorite Git Tool for committing your code!
EZGIT Git certificates are short lived (based on your organizations settings might last between 1 and 72 hours). You will have to run this command each time the certificate is expired.
Sending a command through EZGIT
EZGIT offers the option of sending a command to your git solution to make it easier to use. Just add a -c and the command to your EZGIT git command. For Example if you want to pull you can do:
ezgit -c "pull"
EZGIT will talk care of using your existing certificate or getting a new one and then will call git pull in another window.
