Overview

cabal init guesses your name and email based on your source control configuration (~/.gitconfig for example), it would be awesome if Summoner did the same thing.

Example

Currently the interactive prompt displays the following:

Repository owner:  [kowainik]
  ->   m-renaud
Short project description: 
  ->   
Author:  [Kowainik]
  ->   Matt Renaud
Maintainer e-mail:  [xrom.xkov@gmail.com]
  ->

The repository owner, author, and email can all be guessed from the users Git configuration file.

Reference Code

The cabal init implementation can be found here.

@m-renaud Thanks for the idea! I guess, for Summoner at the moment it makes sense to only check the Git config file as we are supporting only this at the moment.

However, there is a way to configure this information for you in Summoner, even for different types of project creation (for example, your personal name, or organization one) – we are using TOML configurations. Here is some info about what can be put to your .toml file, and also the general logic we are using for the data input.

@m-renaud See PR #305 which address the issue. From the cabal init code I see that it tries to guess credentials from multiple sources: environment variables, darcs config, .gitconfig, etc. Currently in summoner we support only git VSC, so it guesses only from .gitconfig.
