gum

Gum is a tool for managing many git repositories at once. It's ideal for making mass edits, retrieving information from a common place in many repos, and other large scale scripting tasks.

Contents

Installation

    git clone
    go install

Basic Usage

The commands below show a basic workflow of:

  • setting a prefix
  • cloning and registering repos
  • deleting a file from the repos
  • committing and pushing changes
gum prefix [email protected]:zemberdotnet/

gum clone gum
gum register gum

gum clone blog
gum register blog

gum sh rm README.md
gum add README.md
gum commit -m "removing readme"
gum push

Commands

Configuration Commands

prefix

  • used to set a prefix for use in gum clone
  • example usage: 
    gum prefix [email protected]:zembderdotnet/

make

make is a convience command to clone all the repos in the current group. Given the following .gum file:

{
  "Prefix": "[email protected]:zemberdotnet/",
  "CurrentGroup": "default",
  "Groups": {
    "default": ["hnreduce", "gum"],
    "otherGroup": ["blog"]
  }
}

make would clone [email protected]:zemberdotnet/hnreduce and [email protected]:zemberdotnet/gum to the local working directory. This command can be useful when setting up a working environment.

group

group changes the active repo group. The default group is default. This allows switching between different groups of repos contained in the same directory.

register

register adds a local repo to the current group. Given the active group is default and a directory like the following

ls -a
blog/ .gum gum/

Doing the gum register blog would add the blog repo to the current group, default.

unregister

unregister removes a local repo from the current group.

list

list prints a new-line delimited list of the repos registered in the current group.

Git Commands

clone

clone works the same way as git clone <repo>. It works in combination with your current prefix, if you've set one.

Example usage with gum prefix:

gum prefix [email protected]:zemberdotnet/
gum clone gum
gum register gum
ls -a
.gum gum/

Example usage without using gum prefix:

gum clone [email protected]:zemberdotnet/gum
gum register gum
ls -a
.gum gum/

status

status works the same git status does. It will print the git status for each repo registered in the current group. It accepts the same flags that git status accepts. Example usage to print the short-form status for all registered repos:

gum status -s
#target:gum
M README.md
#target:blog
M README.md

add

add works the same as git add <changed file>. It will attempt to add the file in every repository that is registered in the current group.

add also accepts the same flags that git add does. The following shows a common example of add:

gum sh rm README.md
gum status
#target:gum
On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        deleted:    README.md

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
#target:blog
On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        deleted:    README.md

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
gum add -A
gum commit -m "remove README.md"
