Skull

Skull helps developers with multiple computers and hundreds of projects, cloning their repo's at the correct location using a central catalog-file.

Why

Besides DRY, having a predefined directory layout for all your code-projects, allows you to do more automation. I wrote skull after I start using gs-git, a git monitor which checks for dirty git repo's.

Installation

You need crystal to build skull.

clone https://github.com/mipmip/skull
cd skull
shards
make
./bin/skull

Configuration

Create a skull catalog file at ~/.config/skulls.yaml.

Populate with repo-groups and repo's:

home:base_dir:~/repos:- source:mipmip/secondbrain- source:mipmip/nixostest:base_dir:/tmp/repos:- source:mipmip/awesomewm-screenshots- source:https://github.com/mipmip/mip.rs.git

Source can be a full git source URL or just shortened github url. Shortened github urls translate to a SSH URI.

mipmip/awesomewm-screenshots will translates to git clone git@github.com:mipmip/awesomewm-screenshots

Usage

skull help
skull [subcommand] help

Development

Use crystal, if you have nix and flakes you can run

nix develop
shards
make
./bin/skull -c test/skull.yaml

New release

update CHANGELOG.md update src/skull/version update shards.yml git tag vX.X.X git push --tags gh browse + release stuff
