git mass checker
A simple and helpful utility script for nix (easily edited for legacy Linux distributions.)
This script will find and clone all of your repositories including repositories belonging to your organizations, a handy tool on its own! but there's more.
The script will sort all the repositories into folders named appropriately, if the repository already exists in the working_dir then it will move it into the correct folder.
Also, if that wasn't enough, it will if run a second time (or the first) it will fetch and pull any repository it would have otherwise cloned.
Expected usage:
Edit the script to insert your:
- username
- api-token (https://github.com/settings/tokens)
- organisation names then run:
$ cd My_cluttered_repo_folder
$ git_mass_check.sh ./
The Shebang at the top of the script is used for Nix; it invokes bash with jq and figlet packages
#!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
#!nix-shell -i bash -p jq figlet
if you are not using nix, or nixos, you will want to change this to #/!bin/bash
and pollute your user environment with these packages:
- jq
- figlet
Final notes
There's obviously no warranty; don't run code on your computer that you haven't read every line of, and understood. that's why programmers write comments.
