Takes a repo name, and looks up the upstream repository. If there is an upstream repository, writes it to standard out. Otherwise writes nothing.
Installation
This package is available on hackage so can be installed with
cabal install infer-upstream
Alternatively, you can clone this repo and install with cabal
git clone https://github.com/silky/infer-upstream.git
cd infer-upstream
cabal install
Usage:
noon@dev> infer-upstream -r scirate3 -u silky
git@github.com:draftable/scirate3.git
Another usage:
noon@dev> cd scirate3
noon@dev> git remote add upstream `infer-upstream --using-cwd`
A more interesting usage (and the reason I wrote this) is to use the
upstream_everything.sh script. It performs the following task.
For all folders in a given directory:
- go into each one,
- if it is a github repo,
- look up the upstream repo,
- if we find it,
- set it as a new remote.
Usage:
noon@~> cd dev
noon@dev> git clone git@github.com:silky/infer-upstream
noon@dev> infer-upstream/upstream_everything.sh
...
With upstream set on your repos, you can then run fetch_upstreams.sh, if
you like, which will bring down any incoming changes and give print out a
short summary.
Example:
noon@dev>infer-upstream/fetch_upstreams.sh
fetching upstream for Javascript-Voronoi ...

Notes:
- This script assumes every folder in the ~/dev directory is the clone of a Github repository.
- Github currently limits you to 60 unauthenticated API requests per hour; this approach uses one API request per folder.
