Demo

Quickstart

1. Download gitstrap CLI (see Install section)
2. Get configuration from any of your repositories or from this one: gitstrap get --owner=g4s8 gitstrap > repo.yaml
3. Edit YAML config (see Specification reference)
4. Create or update you repository with gitstrap apply -f repo.yaml

Install

First you need to install it.

To get binary for your platform use download script:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/g4s8/gitstrap/master/scripts/download.sh | sh

On MacOS you can install it using brew tool:

brew tap g4s8/.tap https://github.com/g4s8/.tap
brew install g4s8/.tap/gitstrap

Alternatively, you can build it using go get github.com/g4s8/gitstrap

Get GitHub token

To use gitstrap you need GitHub token. Go to settings (profile settings, developer settings, personal access token, generate new token): https://github.com/settings/tokens/new and select all repo checkboxes and delete_repo checkbox (in case you want gitstrap to be able to delete repositories). You may use this token as CLI option (gitstrap --token=ABCD123 apply) or save it in ~/.config/gitstrap/github_token.txt file.
