dev-repo

Manage a group of repositories for local development

Install

Add the module within your dev repo:

$ yarn add @uscreen.de/dev-repo

Usage

To combine mutliple repositories into one single development repository you just add a mapping to your existing package.json, ie.:

"repos": {
  "client": "[email protected]:example/client.git",
  "api": "[email protected]:example/api.git",
  "website": "[email protected]:example/website.git"
}

Next run repo install and you will end up with a directory structure like:

.
├── package.json
├── repos
│   ├── client
│   ├── api
│   └── site
└── yarn.lock

Each ./repos/* now containing a git cloned checkout with ./repos/*/node_modules already installed. Invoking $ repowithout any parameter prints general usage information:

$ repo
Usage: repo [options] [command]

Options:
  -V, --version         output the version number
  -h, --help            output usage information

Commands:
  install [repository]            install named repository (ie. "webapi"), or all if no name supplied
  list [repository] [-f|--fetch]  list named repository (ie. "webapi"), or all if no name supplied
  pull [repository]               pull named repository (ie. "webapi"), or all if no name supplied
  run <command> [repository]      run command within named repository (ie. "webapi"), or all if no name supplied
  help [cmd]                      display help for [cmd]

Api

$ repo install [repository]

Install given repository or all. This will create any missing subdirectory, git clone missing repositories and run a yarn install for each repository. Subsequent calls of repo install will at least run a yarn install each time. Those will run in parallel.

$ repo pull [repository]

Pull one given repository from remote or all repositories. Those pulls will run in parallel.

$ repo run <command> [repository]

Run given command within given repository or all available repositories. Example with three repoos:

$ repo run "git pull"
Already up to date.
Already up to date.
Already up to date.

Example with a given repository:

$ repo run "git status" webapi
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

By now commands will run in parallel, so don't expect a proper sequences output. run inherits the current users shell from env to enable aliases etc. by default. For example this could open editors for all projects:

$ repo run "v"

(assuming an alias like alias v 'code .')

$ repo list [repository] [-f|--fetch]

Lists local information about a given repository or all.

• name@version
• current branch of working copy
• current changes of working copy
• counts of commits behind/ahead HEAD

Example output:

$ repo list
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean
[email protected] - [master] HEAD dirty [2⇡/⇣1] - Working Copy: 2 uncommitted local changes
[email protected] - [stable] HEAD clean

$ repo list
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean
[email protected] - [master] HEAD dirty [2⇡/⇣1]
[email protected] - [stable] HEAD clean

$ repo list
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean
[email protected] - [master] HEAD dirty [3⇡/⇣0]
[email protected] - [stable] HEAD clean

$ repo list
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean - Working Copy: 1 uncommitted local changes
[email protected] - [stable] HEAD clean

$ repo list
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean - Working Copy: 1 uncommitted local changes
[email protected] - [stable] HEAD clean

$ repo list -f
remote: Enumerating objects: 1, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (1/1), done.
remote: Total 2 (delta 1), reused 1 (delta 1)
Unpacking objects: 100% (2/2), done.
From github.com:example/api
   b578056..d7b07cd  master     -> origin/master
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean
[email protected] - [master] HEAD dirty [0⇡/⇣1]
[email protected] - [master] HEAD clean
