Gstore is a simple tool to synchronize GitHub repositories of your organizations.
Project description
Gstore is a simple tool to synchronize GitHub repositories of your organizations.
Overview
This tool uses the GitHub API to get a list of all forked, mirrored, public, and private repos owned by your organizations. If the repo already exists locally, it will update it via git-pull. Otherwise, it will properly clone the repo.
It will organize your repos into the following directory structure:
+ sync-dir
├── organization_1
│ ├── repo_1
│ ├── repo_2
│ ├── ...
│ └── repo_n
├── organization_2
│ ├── repo_1
│ ├── repo_2
│ ├── ...
│ └── repo_n
└── organization_n
├── repo_1
├── repo_2
├── ...
└── repo_n
Typical use case
Install
Requirements
Installing Gstore
Installing Gstore is easily done using pip. Assuming it is installed, just run the following from the command-line:
$ pip install gstore
Or to install development version:
$ pip install -e git://github.com/sergeyklay/gstore.git#egg=gstore
This command will download the latest version of Gstore from the Python Package Index and install it to your system. The command gstore will be available to you from the command line.
More information about pip and pypi can be found here:
Alternatively, you can install from the source as follows:
Clone Gstore repository
Run pip install -r requirements.txt
Run the gstore module (directory) as follows:
$ python -m gstore --help
Getting Started
Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token with with at minimum repo scope (Full control of private repositories)
Save the token in a safe place; you’ll need it when use Gstore
Usage
gstore [-h] [--user USER] --token TOKEN [--org [ORG ...]] [target]
Positional arguments:
target base target to sync repos (e.g. folder on disk)
Optional arguments:
-h, --help — Show help message and exit
--user USER — Username to use to get organizations list
--token TOKEN — Personal access token
--org [ORG ...] — Organizations you have access to (by default all)
Examples
Sync all repos from all organizations
To be able get organizations list for a user, Gstore will need a GitHub username. Thus we pass it bellow (--user).:
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$GH_USER" ~/backup
Unless you set the GSTORE_DIR environment variable and don’t provide target, Gstore will sync all the repositories to current working directory.:
# Will sync all the repositories to current working directory
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$GH_USER"
# Will sync all the repositories to ~/work directory
$ export GSTORE_DIR=~/work
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$GH_USER"
# Will sync all the repositories to ~/backup directory
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$GH_USER" ~/backup
Sync all repos from Acme organization
To get all repositories of a specific organization, just specify it as follows:
$ gstore --org Acme --token "$TOKEN" ~/backup
To specify a target directory right after organization list use double dash to signify the end of org option.:
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --org Acme -- ~/backup
Sync all repos from Foo, Bar and Baz organizations
To get all repositories of the listed organizations, specify them separated by a space:
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --org Foo Bar Baz -- ~/backup
Logging
All informational and error messages produced by Gstore are sent directly to the standard streams of the operating system. Gstore doesn’t have any special tools/options to setup logging to files. Such design was chosen deliberately to not increase Gstore complexity in those aspects where this is not clearly necessary, and also to simplify its administration by end users.
So, informational and error messages produced by Gstore are sent to two separate streams:
The regular output is sent to standard output stream (STDOUT)
The error messages and the warning ones are sent to standard error stream (STDERR)
The format of the messages generated by Gstore was chosen in such a way as to preserve human readability, but at the same time to allow specialized tools to parse message entries according to a single template.
Let’s look at a few examples to demonstrate the above:
# All messages are visible
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$USER" ~/work
# Only informational message are visible
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$USER" ~/work 2>/dev/null
# Only error messages and warnings are visible
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$USER" ~/work 1>/dev/null
# Store logs separately
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$USER" ~/work > info.log 2> err.log
# Store all the logs in the same file
$ gstore --token "$TOKEN" --user "$USER" ~/work > gstore.log 2>&1
