This can be used to maintain git repositories
|
|
expiremental work on federated git
|
|
|
|
* Scans directories looking for git repositories
|
|
* The default behavior is to use 3 branches. 'master or main', 'devel', '<username>'
|
|
* shows tags and dirty state
|
|
* uses a GUI or the console(console display needs work)
|
|
* always wrap around 'git' -- it basically just types 'git' commands really fast
|
|
|
|
## Notes & Goals:
|
|
|
|
* use a GUI that also works on the command line
|
|
* andlabs GTK gui plugin starts breaking around 200 repos
|
|
|
|
## Install:
|
|
|
|
* go install go.wit.com/apps/forge@latest
|
|

## building from sources (may work Jan 2026)

|
```
|
|
go install go.wit.com/apps/go-clone@latest # this tool makes it easier to 'git clone' repos and recursively 'git clone' the dependancies
|
|
go install go.wit.com/apps/autogenpb@latest # this tool will generate the protobuf *pb.go files (also Marshal(), Sort(), etc.)
|
|
|
|
go-clone --recursive go.wit.com/apps/forge # this will 'git clone' about 20 repos into ~/go/src (or where your go.work file is)
|
|
|
|
cd go.wit.com/lib/protobuf/forgepb
|
|
make # autogenpb will make .pb.go, marshal.pb.go and sort.pb.go files
|
|
cd go.wit.com/lib/protobuf/gitpb
|
|
make # autogenpb will make .pb.go, marshal.pb.go and sort.pb.go files
|
|
|
|
cd go.wit.com/apps/forge
|
|
make # this runs GO111MODULE=off go build insuring that your using only your git sources
|
