$ vcspull ·

Manage and sync multiple git, svn, and mercurial repos via JSON or YAML file. Compare to myrepos, mu-repo. Built on libvcs.

Great if you use the same repos at the same locations across multiple machines or want to clone / update a pattern of repos without having to cd into each one.

• clone / update to the latest repos with $ vcspull
• use filters to specify a location, repo url or pattern in the manifest to clone / update
• supports svn, git, hg version control systems
• automatically checkout fresh repositories
• supports pip-style URL's (RFC3986-based url scheme)

See the documentation, configuration examples, and config generators.

How to

Install

$ pip install --user vcspull

Developmental releases

You can test the unpublished version of vcspull before its released.

• pip:

  $ pip install --user --upgrade --pre vcspull

• pipx:

  $ pipx install --suffix=@next 'vcspull' --pip-args '\--pre' --force

  Then use vcspull@next sync [config]....

Configuration

Add your repos to ~/.vcspull.yaml.

vcspull does not currently scan for repos on your system, but it may in the future

~/code/:
  flask: "git+https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git"
~/study/c:
  awesome: "git+git://git.naquadah.org/awesome.git"
~/study/data-structures-algorithms/c:
  libds: "git+https://github.com/zhemao/libds.git"
  algoxy:
    repo: "git+https://github.com/liuxinyu95/AlgoXY.git"
    remotes:
      tony: "git+ssh://[email protected]/tony/AlgoXY.git"

(see the author's .vcspull.yaml, more configuration)

$HOME/.vcspull.yaml and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcspull/ (~/.config/vcspull) can be used as a declarative manifest to clone you repos consistently across machines. Subsequent syncs of nitialized repos will fetch the latest commits.

Sync your repos

$ vcspull sync

Keep nested VCS repositories updated too, lets say you have a mercurial or svn project with a git dependency:

external_deps.yaml in your project root (any filename will do):

./vendor/:
  sdl2pp: "git+https://github.com/libSDL2pp/libSDL2pp.git"

Clone / update repos via config file:

$ vcspull sync -c external_deps.yaml '*'

See the Quickstart for more.

Pulling specific repos

Have a lot of repos?

you can choose to update only select repos through fnmatch patterns. remember to add the repos to your ~/.vcspull.{json,yaml} first.

The patterns can be filtered by by directory, repo name or vcs url.

Any repo starting with "fla":

$ vcspull sync "fla*"

Any repo with django in the name:

$ vcspull sync "*django*"

Search by vcs + url, since urls are in this format +://:

$ vcspull sync "git+*"

Any git repo with python in the vcspull:

$ vcspull sync "git+*python*

Any git repo with django in the vcs url:

$ vcspull sync "git+*django*"

All repositories in your ~/code directory:

$ vcspull sync "$HOME/code/*"
