gh-agent-sync 1.2.1

Link agents and skills from awesome-copilot or any common repos with agents/skills to your local repository.

Copilot Linker

A cross-platform Python utility to link agents and skills from the awesome-copilot repository to any local git repository.

Installation

Install from source:

pip install .

Or for development:

pip install -e .

From PyPI (once published):

pip install gh-agent-sync

Usage

Run the utility from the root of your git repository:

Link Agents and Skills

gh-agent-sync link

Or specify a custom repository:

gh-agent-sync link --url https://github.com/your-org/your-agents-repo

This will:

• Clone or update the awesome-copilot repository into .github/awesome-copilot
• Create symbolic links (or copies if symlinks fail) to .github/agents and .github/skills
• Add the linked paths to .gitignore to prevent them from being committed

Undo Linking

gh-agent-sync undo

This will:

• Remove the .github/agents and .github/skills directories
• Remove the cloned .github/awesome-copilot repository

Development

Building

To build the package:

python -m build

Publishing

1. Create a release on GitHub
2. The CI/CD workflow will automatically build and publish to PyPI

Make sure to set up PyPI API tokens in the repository secrets if needed.

What it does

• Checks if the current directory is a git repository
• Clones or updates the awesome-copilot repository into .github/awesome-copilot
• Creates symbolic links (or copies if symlinks fail):
  • .github/agents → .github/awesome-copilot/agents
  • .github/skills → .github/awesome-copilot/skills
• Adds linked paths to .gitignore

This allows you to use the agents and skills from awesome-copilot in your repository without copying the files directly.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Git
• Internet connection for cloning the repository

Notes

• On systems where symlinks are not supported or require special permissions, the utility will fall back to copying the directories.
• The utility creates links/copies, so changes in the awesome-copilot repo will be reflected in your links (after updating with git pull in the cloned directory).
