Platform-independent (Linux/Mac/Windows) Git utilities, useful for managing large (100+) numbers of Git repos.
Speed is an emphasis throughout, with concurrency via Python asyncio
and pipelining.
In general, GitMC works with all GitHub repos, including organization private repos--assuming you have created a GitHub Oauth key with appropriate permissions ("repo" needed for private org/user repos").
GitMC uses command-line Git because PyGit also requires command-line Git installed, and we don't need the advanced functionality.
Also see PyGitHub utilities for managing large (100+) numbers of users / teams.
Install Git in a way accessible from the command line line
- Mac:
brew install git
- Linux:
apt install git
- Windows: command line Git.
python -m pip install -e .
gitbranch
Tells of any non-master branches under directory ~/codegitemail
list all contributor email addresses. Optionally, amend email addresses for prior Git commits
These assume numerous subdirectories under ~/code
or c:\code
.
They work very quickly for large numbers (100+) repos.
gitmodified
check if any local repos have pending changesgitcheck
check if any remote repos are ahead of localgitpull
Git pulls all reposgitfetch
Git fetches all repos
You can place an empty file .nogit
in a subdirectory to skip it.
For public repos, to make the Git remote checking go at least twice as fast, and significantly reduce the computational burden when SSH is used for git push
(as is recommended), consider the "pushInsteadOf" global Git config.
To do this, when cloning a public repo (including ones you're a collaborator on), use git clone https://
.
This global SSH push config one-time does SSH push for HTTPS-cloned repos:
git config --global url."ssh://github.com/".pushInsteadOf https://github.com/
The pattern matching can be made for all sites by omitting github.com
from the command above, or you can refine it for each site, or even for specific usernames by editing the command above.
For private repos, simply clone with SSH as usual
This is for a website made using Jekyll or Hugo:
ActOnChanged . -p
It shows web page previews of all pages changed locally--start the Jekyll or Hugo debug server first e.g. hugo serve
