Dummy Repo Generator

A bash script to generate git repository with dummy commits.

Usage

./drg.sh [ -b <branches-number> ] [ -m (merge) ]
         [ -d (delete branches after merge) ]
         [ -n <commits-number> ] [ -p <files-prefix> ]
         [ -c (clear repository completely) ]
         [ -g (omit drawing git graph) ]
         [ -o (overwrite existing files instead of appending) ]

Sample run: (messages are fetched from whatthecommit automatically)

$ ./drg.sh -b 2 -m -n 3 -p X

Default Values

Variable	Value
branches_number	0 (commit to master directly)
merge	false
delete	false
commits_number	5
files_prefix	""
draw_graph	true
overwrite	false

Collision Handling

If the script is used to generate commits in existing files, some of the commit data is just appended to the file instead of overwriting the whole file.

Note: You can enable overwriting the files by using the -o option.
