A thin wrapper around Google's repo tool, adding some extras on top!

Repo On Fire

Google's repo tool - but on fire 🔥

About

repo-on-fire aims to be a thin wrapper around Google's repo tool. repo already does a decent job when it comes to managing larger projects consisting of several git repositories. repo-on-fire (or - rof) doesn't re-invent the wheel here - instead, it wraps around repo, adding some useful functionality on top. Particularly, this means: rof aims to be 100% command line compatible with repo - ideally, where ever you can use repo, you can instead use rof, taking benefit of that certain X it adds.

Features

Currently, on top of allowing you to call through to any of the repo commands, repo-on-fire adds the following features on top:

• Automatic workspace caching.
• The workspace switch command can be used to switch to a particular branch for the entire workspace.
