repo reimplemented in Golang and many others

git-repo is repo reimplemented in Golang and with many other features. Using git-repo, a developer can create code reviews (pull requests) from client side directly. There will be no fork, no feature branches, and no write permission needed.

git-repo is a command line tool, which adds more sub-commands to git, and works for centralized git workflow like Gerrit, agit-flow of Alibaba.com, and other agit-flow alike protocols...

Download or compile the binary of git-repo from this repository, and install (copy) the executable of git-repo to proper location, such as /usr/bin of Linux and MacOS, and C:\Windows\system32 of Windows.

After installation, execute the following command to validate the installation:

git repo version 

git-repo installs some useful git configurations for user, some unique alias commands are:

git peer-review => git repo upload --single git pr => git repo upload --single git download => git repo download --single 

1. Clone a repository

    git clone https://codeup.teambition.com/gotgit/demo.git 

2. Create a local branch (optional)

    git checkout -b some/topic origin/master 

3. Create commits in worktree...

4. Create code-review from command line:

    git pr 

There are many options for git pr (or git peer-review, or git review), please check the manual:

 git repo upload --help 

A new code-review (pull request) will be created or a old code-review will be refreshed after running git pr. Each code-review has a unique number, such as pull request #123.

Reviewer can download it using command

git download 123 

, and make a code review in local worktree.

Repeated command by author will update the code review:

git pr 

If a reviewer wants to update a code-review, he or she can run:

git pr --change 123 

(suppose 123 is the code review ID, the reviewer just downloaded)

git-repo supports android style multiple repositories management.

• Init workspace from a manifest project.

• Clone / update all repositories referenced in the manifest repository.

   git repo sync
