Snap Package

[arusahni]

It'd be nice to have a Snap package for platforms that don't have an official package. This isn't as easy as it sounds.

Pro:

• Snap permits packaging of CLI tools.
  Con:
• Containment is painful
  • Specifically, one needs to manually connect the ~/.gitreqconfig,
  • Also, shelling out to git isn't a viable option due to the git binary being outside of the containment.

For reference, here's where I left off during my snap experimentation:

name: git-req
version: git
summary: Check out merge requests from your GitLab/GitHub hosted repos with ease!
description: |
  This git extension allows end-users to check out merge requests by
  their corresponding number.

  To use, simply `git req <number>` from the project directory.
