YonderGit

One of the great strengths of Git is the multiple and flexible ways of handling remote repositories. Just like Subversion, they can be "served" out of a location, but more generally, if you can reach it from your computer through any number of ways (ssh, etc.), you can git it. YonderGit wraps up a number of a common operations with remote repositories: creating, initializing, adding to (associating with) the local repository, removing, etc. You can clone your own copy of the YonderGit code repository using:

git clone git://github.com/jeetsukumaran/YonderGit.git

Or you can download an archive directly here:

http://github.com/jeetsukumaran/YonderGit/archives/master.

After downloading, enter "sudo python setup.py" in the YonderGit directory to install. This will just copy the "ygit.py" script to your system path. After that, enter "ygit.py commands?" for a summary of possible commands, or "ygit.py --help" for help on options.

Quick Summary of Commands

• Create directory specified by "REPO-URL", using either the "ssh" or local filesystem transport protocol, initialize it as repository by running "git init", and add it as a remote called "NAME" of the local git repository. Will fail if directory already exists:

  $ ygit.py setup NAME REPO-URL
  

• Create directory specified by "REPO-URL", using either the "ssh" or local filesystem transport protocol, and then initialize it as repository by running "git init". Will fail if directory already exists:

  $ ygit.py create REPO-URL
  

• Initialize remote directory "REPO-URL" as a repository by running "git init" in the directory (will fail if directory does not already exist):

  $ ygit.py init REPO-URL
  

• Add "REPO-URL" as a new remote called "NAME" of the local git repository.

  $ ygit.py add NAME REPO-URL
  

• Recursively remove the directory "REPO-URL" and all subdirectories and files.

  $ ygit.py delete REPO-URL

Local (Filesystem) Transport Protocol

/path/to/repo.git/
path/to/repo.git/
~/path/to/repo.git

Installation

To install, run::

$ sudo python setup.py install

Alternatively, you can just copy all the scripts in the scripts subdirectory to some place on your system path.
