Usage
Overview
grab <url-to-repo>
grab -r <url-to-remote-repo>
grab --help
Configuring
The environment variable GARB_PATH
can be set to insure the default local of for storing the repos.
At any time the environment variable can be overridden by the -p
flag.
Cloning a repo
To cloning a repo can be done using both the ssh or https routes.
When cloning, the data is stored in the path defined in GRAB_PATH
.
grab <repo route>
To override the path at run time the -p
flag can be used.
grab <repo route> -p <some/other/path>
Adding remotes to repos.
The -r
flag can be used to say the repo path is a remote of an existing repo.
grab -r <repo route>
This adds the repo route
to all cloned repos in the path where the repo name matches.
Using the -p
flag allows setting the path where to search for repos.
grab -r <repo route> -p <some/other/path>
Warning
All the functions are case-sensitive. This can be problematic when adding remotes to existing cloned repos.
