$ hierarchy

TODO: Add picture of hierarchy in action

Quick-Start

1. Install

   $ pip install hierarchy
   

2. Create the Hierarchy file

   $ nano ~/.hierarchy
   

   Sample Hierarchy File

   - url: '[e-mail]:FlorianKempenich/Hierarchy.git'
     path: '~/Dev/Tools'
     
   - url: '[e-mail]:FlorianKempenich/kata.git'

     name: kata-cli
   

3. Run Hierarchy

   $ hierarchy
   

Hierarchy file structure

The Hierarchy file represent the flat hierarchy of all the git repository to clone and automatically maintain.

It consists of a list of entries, each representing a repository to clone. Each repository has the following structure:

url: "URL of the project. The same used to clone the repository with `git clone`"
path: "The local path where to clone the repository. It can contain `~` to represent HOME"
name: "OPTIONAL - A name to override the default repository name when cloning"

The repository will be cloned at: path/name
If no name is provided, the repository name will be used.

A sample Hierarchy file might look like this:

- url: '[e-mail]:FlorianKempenich/Hierarchy.git'
  path: '~/Dev/Tools'
  
- url: '[e-mail]:FlorianKempenich/kata.git'
  path: '/Some/Other/Location'
  name: kata-cli
