{
"group": "cake",
"destination": "/workspace/cake",
"repositories": [
"git@github.com:cakephp/app.git",
"git@github.com:cakephp/bake.git",
"git@github.com:cakephp/cakephp.git",
"git@github.com:cakephp/migrations.git"
]
},
{
"group": "docs",
"destination": "/workspace/docs",
"repositories": [
"git@github.com:cakephp/docs.git"
]
}
]
In the example above, we want to clone 4 repositories into /workspace/cake folder, 1 repository into /workspace/docs.
Dependencies
Install jq, if you don’t have it already.
Usage
You can obtain info about usage by ./clone.sh help.
./clone.sh # clone all from projects.json
./clone.sh -g <group> # clone repositories by group matching in projects.json
./clone.sh sync # fetch and pull projects
./clone.sh sync -g <group> # fetch and pull repositories by group matching in projects.json
./clone.sh help # show usage
Multi clone
Launch it with ./clone.sh.
You can clone by group with ‘-g’ argument. Using the example json above, if you want to clone just “docs” repositories:
./clone.sh -g docs
Multi sync (fetch and pull)
Launching ./clone.sh sync, the shell will do a git fetch -p and git pull in the repositories defined in projects.json.
