repoman-cli 0.4.2

Declarative multi-forge Git workspace sync and mirror management

repoman

Declarative multi-forge Git workspace sync — preview-first CLI that plans and applies local clones (and later forge-side mirrors) from one YAML file. Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Status	Meaning
OK	No action needed
WOULD UPDATE	Preview of a planned change
UPDATED	Change applied
SKIP	Left unchanged (e.g. dirty tree, non–fast-forward)
WARN	Informational issue
ERROR	Failure

Documentation

Resource	Description
Getting started	Install, first config, tokens, first sync (start here)
Published docs	MkDocs site (after GitHub Pages is enabled — see Deployment)
Full docs site	MkDocs index — build with uv run mkdocs serve
Design spec	Architecture, schema, roadmap
Examples	Runnable sample commands and namespace include / exclude recipes
Examples (repo)	Safe runnable YAML under examples/

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.11
• Git on PATH
• uv — environments and CI

Install

From PyPI (recommended)

pip install repoman-cli
# or: uv pip install repoman-cli
repoman --version

The PyPI package name is repoman-cli; the CLI command is still repoman.

From a clone (development)

git clone <this-repo-url> repoman && cd repoman
uv sync --all-groups
uv run repoman --version

Optional: install the CLI into the active environment from the checkout:

uv pip install .
repoman --version

First-time setup (5 minutes)

1. Create configuration

uv run repoman config init
uv run repoman config path    # shows where repoman.yaml was created

Platform	Default config directory
Linux / macOS	~/.config/repoman/
Windows	%USERPROFILE%\.repoman\

Set REPOMAN_HOME to use a different directory on any OS, or pass --config PATH per command.

2. Edit repoman.yaml

Set paths.workspace_root, configure remotes, and add at least one namespaces entry (or explicit repos). See getting started for a GitHub namespace example and token setup.

3. Tokens

Use environment variables (token_env in YAML) or credentials.toml beside repoman.yaml with token_credentials — never put tokens in YAML. Details: Getting started § Tokens.

4. Validate, preview, apply

uv run repoman config validate
uv run repoman doctor
uv run repoman local plan                  # preview only
uv run repoman local status                # read-only; add --json for automation
uv run repoman local sync --write          # clones / fetch / ff-only merges

Adjust settings without an editor:

uv run repoman config set paths.workspace_root '~/repositories' --write

Safety: local sync without --write never mutates clones; dirty trees and non–fast-forward states produce SKIP, not silent data loss.

What's implemented

• config — init, path, validate, show, set
• doctor — tokens and optional API reachability
• local plan / local sync / local status — discovery, layout, guarded git operations

Not yet shipped: mirrors — see roadmap.

Development

uv sync --all-groups
uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run pytest
uv run mkdocs build --strict
uv run mkdocs serve    # local docs at http://127.0.0.1:8000
