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.
