walker

A walker (looking for GIT repos to PULL) written in Go

Any usable stuff?

Meh, if you feel really brave and you have a big collection of GIT repos that you want to keep up to date and you are really too lazy to pull one by one, maybe you can try this embarrassing script:

walker -c pull -p ~/workspaces/

There is a dry run feature... using -d.

Version is easy:

walker -V

| Walker
version 0.0.3

Could be nice to dump a file with all the remotes... try

walker -c pull -p ~/workspaces/` -r

Available options, for a safe try is -c fetch ... please note that this script is totally untested, machine dependent and probably useful only to me.

This script is Golang powered: this means that spawn 10 goroutines to be super fast!

To change the degree of parallelism use the WORKERS_NUMBER environment variable (get the results with the verbose flag set):

WORKERS_NUMBER=1 walker -v

| Walker

running with this options:
&{Command:fetch DryRun:false Help:false Path:. Silent:false Remotes:false Verbose:true Version:false}

Start walking from /Users/user/something
Start fetching down into ..
Spawning 1 goroutines...
[worker_0] worker is born...

/Users/user/something/.git is a GIT dir (true)
 On scanning (001) ...[worker_0] worker picked up a job: fetching /Users/user/something
 - /Users/user/something:
---
Processed 1 repositories.
Bye

Disclaimer

There is not yet neither an error handling feature... but right now it's not important.

Everything is missing:

• error handling
• final results
• retry
• filters

... could be a todo-ish list for the future needs.
