Gitget

Package manager for git repositories.

Installation

To install from pypi run:

pip3 install gitget-pm

Usage

Gitget allows you to manage repositories download from git hosts like github or gitlab. The repositories are treated like software 'packages', and basic tasks such as downloading and saving information about repositories, updating repository, and removing them once they aren't needed anymore. The contents of the git repositories is not changed; installation scripts are not run and dependencies are not installed (yet).

Help

gitget -h
gitget --help
gitget help <command>

Displays a help menu. If the help command is used, a help menu for a specific command is displayed.

Install

gitget install <package>
gitget install <package> <package_name>

Downloads a repository from github and saves information about it. Optionally, a name for the package can be specified. This name will also be used as the directory name. Otherwise, the package name is set to username/repository.

Remove

gitget remove <repository_name>
gitget remove <repository_name> --soft

Removes a repository from the package list and also deletes the files locally. If the --soft flag is passed, the local files will not be deleted.

Update

gitget update

Runs git-pull on all packages in the package list to update them.

Move

gitget move <package_name> <location>

Moves a package from location to another and updates the information about it.

Doctor

gitget doctor

Verifies integrity of files and packages. Any errors are then reported and need to be fixed.

List

gitget list

Lists all packages and install locations.

Edit

gitget edit

Opens the default editor (run echo $EDITOR) to edit the package file.

Setup

gitget setup

Creates the .gitget.yaml package file, where all the package information is saved.
