myrepos, a tool to manage all your version control repos

This is a fork that tries to adhere to the XDG base dir specification for a better home™.

I'm maintaining this as a method for having a dotfiles repo that has a neat and low impact on your $HOME without using silly things like symlinking.

In the same vein, as the general usage is done in tandem with RichiH/vcsh, I've decided to implement @RichiH's available.d/config.d scheme.

That means that:

  • mr register will add the configuration to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mr/available.d/${REPO_NAME}.${REPO_TYPE}

  • mr enable and mr disable can be used to enable/disable repos from available.d.

Original description

You have a lot of version control repositories. Sometimes you want to update them all at once. Or push out all your local changes. You use special command lines in some repositories to implement specific workflows. Myrepos provides a mr command, which is a tool to manage all your version control repositories.

It supports git, svn, mercurial, bzr, darcs, cvs, fossil and veracity.

The mr command is intended to be very self-contained, since it might be useful to check it into ~/bin when keeping your home in version control. It has no dependencies aside from basic perl. (The included webcheckout command has more dependencies, specifically the LWP::Simple and HTML::Parser CPAN modules, and optionally the URI module.)

To install mr, just copy mr into your PATH somewhere.

To get started using mr, perhaps you already have some checked out repositories. Go into each one and run mr register. Now mr has a list of them in ~/.mrconfig, which you can edit later to tune its operation.

Suppose you've cd'd to ~/src, and it has many repositories under it. To update them all, run mr update. To commit any pending changes in each, run mr commit. To check the status of each, you could run mr status.

For further details, and lots of configuration options, see the mr(1) man page or the website, http://myrepos.branchable.com/
