Make maintaining multiple repositories easier. Repox works on MacOS, Linux and Windows (Powershell 7).

See /bin

If the remote doesn't have a default branch set you may get an error like

fatal: ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is not a symbolic ref

You can set it with (run in the branch you want to be the default)

git remote set-head origin --auto

Setting an alias lets you run repox like any other program from the command line without setting it in PATH.

code ~/.bash_profile

.bash_profile file

alias repox='<Absolute path to repox folder>/bin/repox-<os and arch>'

Reload the .bash_profile file

source ~/.bash_profile

Test it

repox help

Open the profile file via Powershell. The file will be created to C:\Users\username\Documents\Powershell if it doesn't exist.

code $PROFILE

Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 file

function repoxZig {
    & "<Absolute path to repox folder>\bin\repox.exe" @args
}
Set-Alias repox repoxZig

Reload the Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 file

. $PROFILE
