mend 0.6.0

Mend, update, and repair git repositories.

mend

Mend, update, and repair git repositories.

Design

Provides a semi-generic mechanism to produce changes -- using a Generator -- and and apply them to repositories -- using a Plugin:

• generators produce one or more files.

  Generator may produce files from templates or programmatic manipulations of existing files (in some git repository).

• plugins apply the files produced by a generator to something.

  Plugins may simply output planned changes or may apply them a repository in some way.

CLI

Both generators and plugins use setuptools entry_points for extensibility: the mend CLI reflects the known instances of both types and allows Generator and Plugin implementations to provide custom CLI parameters.

For example, the .circlci/config.yml file in this repo was generated using:

mend circleci-python-library --project mend copy --path .
