5 mr - a Multiple Repository management tool
9 B<mr> [options] checkout
11 B<mr> [options] update
13 B<mr> [options] status
15 B<mr> [options] commit [-m "message"]
21 B<mr> [options] register [repository]
23 B<mr> [options] config section [parameter=[value] ...]
25 B<mr> [options] action [params ...]
29 B<mr> is a Multiple Repository management tool. It allows you to register a
30 set of repositories in a .mrconfig file, and then checkout, update, or
31 perform other actions on the repositories as if they were one big
34 Any mix of revision control systems can be used with B<mr>, and you can
35 define arbitrary actions for commands like "update", "checkout", or "commit".
37 B<mr> cds into and operates on all registered repsitories at or below your
38 working directory. Or, if you are in a subdirectory of a repository that
39 contains no other registered repositories, it will stay in that directory,
40 and work on only that repository,
42 The predefined commands should be fairly familiar to users of any revision
47 =item checkout (or co)
49 Checks out any repositories that are not already checked out.
53 Updates each repository from its configured remote repository.
55 If a repository isn't checked out yet, it will first check it out.
59 Displays a status report for each repository, showing what
60 uncommitted changes are present in the repository.
64 Commits changes to each repository. (By default, changes are pushed to the
65 remote repository too, when using distributed systems like git.)
67 The optional -m parameter allows specifying a commit message.
71 Show a diff of uncommitted changes.
79 List the repositories that mr will act on.
83 Register an existing repository in the mrconfig file. By default, the
84 epository in the current directory is registered, or you can specify a
85 directory to register.
89 Adds, modifies, removes, or prints a value from the mrconfig file. The next
90 parameter is the name of the section the value is in. To add or modify
91 values, use one or more instances of "parameter=value". Use "parameter=" to
92 remove a parameter. Use just "parameter" to get the value of a parameter.
94 For example, to add (or edit) a repository in src/foo:
96 mr config src/foo checkout="svn co svn://example.com/foo/trunk foo"
98 To show the command that mr uses to update the repository in src/foo:
100 mr config src/foo update
108 Actions can be abbreviated to any unambiguous subsctring, so
109 "mr st" is equivilant to "mr status", and "mr up" is equivilant to "mr
112 Additional parameters can be passed to most commands, and are passed on
113 unchanged to the underlying revision control system. This is mostly useful
114 if the repositories mr will act on all use the same revision control
123 Specifies the topmost directory that B<mr> should work in. The default is
124 the current working directory.
128 Use the specified mrconfig file, instead of looking for one in your home
139 B<mr> is configured by .mrconfig files. It starts by reading the .mrconfig
140 file in your home directory, and this can in turn chain load .mrconfig files
143 Here is an example .mrconfig file:
146 checkout = svn co svn://svn.example.com/src/trunk src
150 checkout = git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git &&
152 git checkout -b mybranch origin/master
154 The .mrconfig file uses a variant of the INI file format. Lines starting with
155 "#" are comments. Values can be continued to the following line by
156 indenting the line with whitespace.
158 The "DEFAULT" section allows setting default values for the sections that
161 The "ALIAS" section allows adding aliases for actions. Each parameter
162 is an alias, and its value is the action to use.
164 All other sections add repositories. The section header specifies the
165 directory where the repository is located. This is relative to the directory
166 that contains the mrconfig file, but you can also choose to use absolute
169 Within a section, each parameter defines a shell command to run to handle a
170 given action. mr contains default handlers for the "update", "status", and
171 "commit" actions, so normally you only need to specify what to do for
174 Note that these shell commands are run in a "set -e" shell
175 environment, where any additional parameters you pass are available in
176 "$@". The "checkout" command is run in the parent of the repository
177 directory, since the repository isn't checked out yet. All other commands
178 are run inside the repository, though not necessarily at the top of it.
179 The "MR_REPO" environment variable is set to the path to the top of the
182 A few parameters have special meanings:
188 If the "skip" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, then B<mr>
189 will skip acting on that repository. The command is passed the action
192 Here are two examples. The first skips the repo unless
193 mr is run by joey. The second uses the hours_since function
194 (included in mr's built-in library) to skip updating the repo unless it's
195 been at least 12 hours since the last update.
197 skip = test $(whoami) != joey
198 skip = [ "$1" = update ] && [ $(hours_since "$1") -lt 12 ]
202 If the "chain" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, then B<mr>
203 will try to load a .mrconfig file from the root of the repository. (You
204 should avoid chaining from repositories with untrusted committers.)
208 If the "deleted" parameter is set and its command returns nonzero, then
209 B<mr> will treat the repository as deleted. It won't ever actually delete
210 the repository, but it will warn if it sees the repsoitory's directory.
211 This is useful when one mrconfig file is shared amoung multiple machines,
212 to keep track of and remember to delete old repositories.
216 The "lib" parameter can specify some shell code that will be run before each
217 command, this can be a useful way to define shell functions for other commands
