Keep git-xargs changes together

Hold git-xargs scripts I use to update my repos.

Basic steps for a change

• update example-go-cli with change and test

• write script to update fling but don't commit

  • Format is [date]-[name-of-change]/{run.sh,change.sh}, where run.sh calls git-xargs with change.sh if necessary

• source GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN and do gitconfig workaround (see below)

• run script against fling

• run against other repos

• merge PRs and update spreadsheet

• restore gitconfig

.gitconfig modifications

Due to gruntwork-io/git-xargs#48, I need to temporarily put user.name and user.email in .root gitconfig...

fling unlink --ask false -s ~/Git-GH/dotfiles/git

git config --global user.name "Benjamin Kane"
git config --global user.email "6081085+bbkane@users.noreply.github.com"

After running git-xargs, I need to re-symlink my git config:

rm ~/.gitconfig
fling link --ask false -s ~/Git-GH/dotfiles/git
