Usage

Overriding the config file location / multiple config files (profiles)

Just set the environment variable FW_CONFIG_DIR. This is also honored by fw setup and fw org-import so you can create more than one configuration this way and switch at will.

Migrating to fw / Configuration

Initial setup is done with

fw setup DIR

This will look through DIR (flat structure!) and inspect all git repositories, then write the configuration in your home. You can edit the configuration manually to add stuff. If you have repositories elsewhere you will need to add them manually and set the override_path property. The configuration is portable as long as you change the workspace attribute, so you can share the file with your colleagues (projects with override_path set won't be portable obviously. You can also add shell code to the after_clone and after_workon fields on a per-project basis. after_clone will be executed after cloning the project (interpreter is sh) and after_workon will be executed each time you workon into the project.

If you want to pull in all projects from a GitHub organization there's fw org-import <NAME> for that (note that you need a minimal config first).

Turn fw configuration into reality

From now on you can

fw sync # Make sure your ssh agent has your key otherwise this command will just hang because it waits for your password (you can't enter it!).

which will clone all missing projects that are described by the configuration but not present in your workspace. Existing projects will be synced with the remote. That means a fast-forward is executed if possible.

Running command across all projects

There is also

fw foreach 'git remote update --prune'

which will run the command in all your projects using sh.

Updating fw configuration (adding new project)

Instead of cloning new projects you want to work on, I suggest adding a new project to your configuration. This can be done using the tool with

fw add [email protected]:brocode/fw.git

(you should run fw sync afterwards! If you don't want to sync everything use fw sync -n) In case you don't like the computed project name (the above case would be fw) you can override this (like with git clone semantics):

fw add [email protected]:brocode/fw.git my-fw-clone

If you're an emacs user you should always run

fw projectile

after a sync. This will overwrite your projectile bookmarks so that all your fw managed projects are known. Be careful: Anything that is not managed by fw will be lost.

workon usage

Just

workon

It will open a fuzzy finder which you can use to select a project. Press <enter> on a selection and it will drop you into the project folder and execute all the hooks.

If you're in a pinch and just want to check something real quick, then you can use

nworkon

as that will no execute any post-workon hooks and simply drop you into the project folder.

In case you're not using fzf integration (see above) you will need to pass an argument to workon / nworkon (the project name). It comes with simple prefix-based autocompletion.
