Hyper Sync Settings

Sync Hyper settings with Github.

Installation

1. Open your Hyper settings (i.e., .hyper.js)

2. Add hyper-sync-settings to plugins section

// Example
module.exports = {
  ...,
  plugins: [
    'hyper-sync-settings'
  ],
  ...
}

3. Save and restart Hyper!

Setup

1. Create a new personal access token which has the gist scope. Save your token to personalAccessToken inside ~/.hyper_plugins/.hyper-sync-settings.json. Alternatively, set the HYPER_SYNC_SETTINGS_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environmental variable using this token.

2. Create a new gist and save it. Save your gist id (last part of the url after the username) to gistId inside ~/.hyper_plugins/.hyper-sync-settings.json. Alternatively, set the HYPER_SYNC_SETTINGS_GIST_ID environmental variable using this id.

3. Restart Hyper.

Disclaimer: Github Gists are by default public. If you don't want other people to easily find your gist (i.e. if you use certain packages, storing auth-tokens, a malicious party could abuse them), you should make sure to create a secret gist.

How to use

Use the commands below in the menu:

1. Plugins > Sync Settings > Check for Updates

   Checks Github to see if there are any updates available for your settings.

2. Plugins > Sync Settings > Backup Settings

   Copies your ~/.hyper.js file to your local repository and pushes it to Github.

3. Plugins > Sync Settings > Restore Settings

   Fast forwards local repo with all new commits from Github and copies the new settings to your ~/.hyper.js file.

4. Plugins > Sync Settings > Open >

   • Gist: Opens the link to the configured Gist.

   • Repo: Opens the local repo that is cloned from the Gist.

   • Configuration: Opens the ~/.hyper_plugins/.hyper-sync-settings.json config file.

Configuration

Add syncSettings in your .hyper.js config. The configuration below shows all existing configuration values in their default states.

module.exports = {
  config: {
    // other configs...
    syncSettings: {
      quiet: false,
      accelerators: {
        checkForUpdates: 'CmdOrCtrl+8'
      }
    },
  },
  // ...
}

config.syncSettings.quiet

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

Mute the notification saying "Your settings are up to date". This will not hide any other notifications.

config.syncSettings.accelerators

• Type: object
• Default: {}

Add configurable keyboard shortcuts to each of the menu options. The value of each of the properties should be a valid Electron Accelerator. The available options are:

• checkForUpdates
• backupSettings
• restoreSettings
• openGist
• openRepo
• openConfiguration
