# Tagsnag

The idea behind Tagsnag is to provide a quick & easy to use cli-tool to extract data for comparison from a similar version over multiple repositories. It was written with educational use in mind: Imagine n groups of students handing in assignments via n Git repositories. The assignments are tagged rather similary and follow the same structure roughly.

## Installation

### Install using pip:

`bash $ pip install Tagsnag `

### Manual Installation

Tagsnag uses Python 3.7 and requires Gitpython to be installed. You can install it using the provided Makefile:

`bash $ make init `

Or manually using pip:

`bash $ pip install gitpython `

## Run

To run tagsnag over all repositories in a directory enter the directory via shell. The whole set of commands can be found by calling –help.

## Overview

Flag | Description |

:— | :— |

-l, –log | Create a logfile. |

-p, –prune | [Read Git manual.](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-prune) May come in handy if tags are replaced a lot. |

-s, –autostash | Instead of skipping the untidy repository, stash all changes. |

-u, –update | Run git checkout master && git pull origin master on all repositories. |

-v, –verbose | Additional logging. |

Modes | Necessary Arguments |

:— | :— |

Extract File | tagsnag –tag=<tag> –filename=<name> –extension=<type> |

Extract Dir | tagsnag –tag=<tag> –directory=<name> |

Extract via XML | (Deprecated) tagsnag –xml=<path> |

–destination=<name> | Optional: Name created destination folder |

## Updating repositories

Run git checkout master && git pull origin master on all repositories:

`bash $ tagsnag --update `

## File extraction

`bash $ tagsnag --tag=<tag> \ --filename=<filename> \ --extension=<filetype> \ --destination=<destination_path> `

The following sample will fuzzy search for a tag containing 1.0, check it out and search for a file of type .md containing the string readme in its name. This file will then be copied into the destination folder and be renamed to <repository_name>.md:

`bash $ tagsnag \ --tag=1.0 \ --filename=readme \ --extension=md \ --destination=./ReadmeFiles `

## Directory extraction

Instead of a filename, you can provide a directory name to extract. Tagsnag will copy the first directory it finds matching the name starting from root.

`bash $ tagsnag --tag=<tag> \ --directory=<directory_name> \ --destination=<destination_path> `

### Run with XML file

• For more configurability you can put an xml file into the folder containing the repos and run it:

`bash $ tagsnag --xml=<path/of/xml_file> `
