Synchronize and manage multiple GitHub repositories
Project description
Persist and create build out environments in a nascent account
This program captures your home directory and synchronize it with another host using Git repo metadata, symbolic links and persisted files.
I wrote this because I couldn't find anything that creates repositories with the idea of having a portable and easy to recreate your home directory on another host. If I've reinvented the wheel, please let me know :)
More specifically: it persists and creates build out environments in a nascent account. The program memorizing a users home directory and building it out on another system. This is done by:
- Copying files, directories and git repos configuration.
- Creating a distribution compressed file.
- Uncompress on the destination system and create repos.
A future release will also synchronize and manage multiple GitHub repositories.

Obtaining
The easist way to install the command line program is via the pip
installer:
pip install zensols.grsync
Binaries are also available on pypi.
Usage
The program has two phases: freeze and thaw. Git repositories (URLs and configuration, not files), symbolic links and files are first froozen into a distribution zip.
This distribution file is then copied to the target machine that is to be configured with the user's home directory setup. The distribution also includes a bootstrap script that creates a Python virtual environment and then invokes the program to thaw the distributing.
-
Install the
grsync
program. -
Decide what you want to transfer to the target system (see test configuration file). This file explains each section of the file with inline comments and should be sufficient to munge your own.
-
Create the distribution, for example:
grsync freeze -c grsync.yml -d ./dist
. -
Copy the distribution zip file to the host, for example:
scp -r ./dist ~/<somehost>
-
Log into that host:
slogin <host>
-
Call the bootstrapper:
cd ./dist && ./bootstrap.sh /usr/bin ./dist python3.6
This attempts to create the Python virtual environment, install the program dependencies and thaw the distribution.To do this step manually:
- Install the
grsync
program. - Thaw the distribution on the target:
grsync thaw -d ./dist
- Install the
Requirements
- At least Python 3.6
- A system that supports PyYAML
