Yet another repository management with auto-attaching profiles.
ghq is the most famous solution to resolve stress of our repository management currently. However, I wanted to customise the git configuration by some rules, such as using my company email in their repositories.
To achieve that, ghq was not enough for me. So I have rewritten them as simple, in Rust, the robust and modern language today.
shell
cargo install ghr
ghr supports many patterns or URLs of the repository to clone:
ghr clone <owner>/<repo>
ghr clone github.com:<owner>/<repo>
ghr clone https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git
ghr clone ssh://git@github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git
ghr clone git@github.com:<owner>/<repo>.git
Easy!
Create ~/.ghr/config.toml and edit as you like:
```toml [profiles.default] user.name = "Your Name" user.email = "your_name@personal.example.com"
[profiles.company] user.name = "Your Name (ACME Inc.)" user.email = "your_name@company.example.com"
[[rules]]
profile.name = "company"
owner = "acme" # Applies company profiles to all repositories in acme org
[[rules]] profile.name = "default" ```
shell
ghr path # Root directory
ghr path <owner> # Owner root
ghr path <owner> <repo> # Repository directory
ghr path --host=github.com # Host root
ghr path --host=github.com <owner> # Owner root of the specified host
ghr path --host=github.com <owner> <repo> # Repository directory of the specified host
You can change the root of repositories managed by ghr by setting environment variable GHR_ROOT in your shell profile.
shell
ghr path # ~/.ghr
GHR_ROOT=/path/to/root ghr path # /path/to/root
