Specifying a non-existing course name does not lead to an error message

Just a minor issue - but since it took me a while to find out what was going wrong, still reported here: Currently, specifying a course that does not exist does not lead to an error message:

$ ./glabs.sh check somecoursethatdoesnotexist
6:31AM | DEBUG | D:/Hochschule/Lehrveranstaltungen/Netzwerke 1/Uebung_WS2021/gitlab/glabs/gitlab/gitlab.go:14 > connecting to gitlab server gitlab.host=https://gitlab.lrz.de/
 > checking usernames config of somecoursethatdoesnotexist
 >> checking students
 >> checking students in groups
 >>> checking duplicates in groups

Instead, terminating with an error message complaining that "somecoursethatdoesnotexist" does not exist, would be helpful. (Thought that I had a problem in my groups listing, instead I had a typo in the group name... ;-) )

Fatal error if repo exists and is prefix of another one

If two repos exist, e.g.,

• .../grp00
• .../grp000

search for project ID of grp00 gives an error:

error while generating project error="more than one project found"

push upstream changes to existing repos

Run Command after clone

Better output

logging only when debugging. Everything else should be nice output like in glabs check

Lock files

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/file_lock.html

Check assignment

glabs check algdati

should check students, groups, ...

glabs check algdati blatt1

should check the assignment blatt1 including groups or students

add template var for repos

should do:

git clone --depth 0 ...
git commit --amend -m <initial commit message>

also var for initialCommitMessage with default to Initial commit

Stop on unknown key

I had put startercod in the .yml which resulted in empty repositories. Would
it make sense to stop with an error if an unknwon key ist encountered?

Reset students privileges on repos

e.g. to set to reporter once the deadline has been reached

Error message in case of a non-existing group "path" might be clearer

If the path of (sub-)groups doesn't exist as specified in the config file, the error message
gitlab group for assignment does not exist error="no group found" assignment=
is not very helpful (or misleading) for an unexperienced user (like me)

push more than one branch

Missing config file is displayed w/o .yml extension in error message

If the config file is missing, one gets the following error message:
panic: fatal error config file: Config File "conffile" Not Found in
As the name of the missing file is conffile.yml, it might be clearer to use the name with extension in the error message.

Active / inactive repositories

It would be useful to have a way to list / filter active repositories, i.e., repositories that contain commits made by the students.

Use-case: there are n student groups for which a repo is generated. Some student teams stopped working on the course but did not signal this. So only repositories with at least one commit (for empty repos) or more commits than in the startercode could be listed or cloned.
