How to install

Usage

• mob start creates a new session or takes over from the previous driver. It will ask a bunch of questions about branches, work interval, break times if it needs.
• mob next hands over to the next driver.
• mob done squashes the feature branch to staging on the base branch (default master) and removes it.

Run mob for help on more commands.

FAQ

Remove all traces of mob from a repo

1. Run mob done to remove the mob branch. Either commit the changes or run git reset HEAD --hard to discard changes.
2. Run mob clean to remove the mob-meta branch.
3. Delete ~/.mob if you don't want to use mob more

Where the configuration stored

Configuration local to you is stored in ~/.mob. Configuration for a repository is stored in an orphan branch named mob-meta.
mob start creates all configuration needed to run. It is always safe to run mob clean to remove the repository config and start fresh.

Show status

Run mob status

How do I change break times, lunch etc

Currently you have to run mob clean and then mob start.

Work duration is set to 15 but we're supposed to be in a meeting in 7 minutes

Run mob start 7

How it works

mob uses an orphan branch called mob-meta to save session state and settings. You can view the session content with mob status and delete it with mob clean.

The session can be in 3 different states:

Inspiration for this tool comes from Remote mob programming and their tool mob written in Go.
