grdl / git-get Goto Github PK

Steps to reproduce:

❯ mkdir new-repo
❯ cd new-repo
❯ git init
❯ git list -r .
.
└──  error

Oops, errors happened when loading repository status:
git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name --abbrev-ref HEAD failed on .: fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

git ls-remote --get-url failed on .: fatal: No remote configured to list refs from.

Right now git-get relases two binaries: git-get and git-list. Consider building only a single git-get binary and embed the list functionality into it (eg, git get list or git get --list).

It was suggested by the creator of git-bug based on disuccions about his project on git mailing list (link to the thread).

Releasing only a single binary would reduce the "namespace grabbing" and may make more sense semantically since git list refers to repos managed by git get anyway.

It would be great if git-get would have a flag to change to the newly created directory.

Currently one has to copy the path and cd into it.

I ran ./get github.com/grdl/git-get which failed because I forgot the https://, but it left behind a bunch of empty folders.

I think it'd be nice to delete those if the command fails.
Maybe it could `git clone ... target/directory.tmpXXXX and then rename that after the command succeeds and delete it if the command fails.

I have a "work" repository where I clone all of the repositories that I work on at work. They are not submodules, I just clone them and manage them individually (the root repository is for organization and has some extra work-related utilities). When I update GITGET_ROOT to the root of the work repository, and then run git list, I get:

/home/sumner/projects/github.com/sumnerevans/beeper
└──  master  [ 3 uncommitted 1 untracked ]

When I run git get, it clones the repositories to the correct location, but git list does not handle it properly.

This is a great tool, thank you! I would suggest that sometimes the hostname is redundant in the tree structure, and it might be nice to have an option to ignore it. So instead you'd just have <root>/<user>/<repo> rather than <root>/<host>/<user>/<repo>

I ran git list with a non-existent repo directory and got an error, but it doesn't tell me which directory it tried to access.

support to resume from break point ?
