madduck's git repository

Every one of the projects in this repository is available at the canonical URL git://git.madduck.net/madduck/pub/<projectpath> — see each project's metadata for the exact URL.

All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to patches@git.madduck.net. If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them, I'd be especially grateful.

SSH access, as well as push access can be individually arranged.

If you use my repositories frequently, consider adding the following snippet to ~/.gitconfig and using the third clone URL listed for each project:

[url "git://git.madduck.net/madduck/"]

+=The template way=
+
+==Prerequisites==
+
+Make sure none of those files/diretories exist for your test (user). If they do, move them away for now:
+
+~/.gitignore
+~/.mrconfig
+~/.config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh
+~/.config/mr/available.d/zsh.vcsh
+~/.config/mr/config.d/mr.vcsh
+~/.config/vcsh/repo.d/mr.git/
+
+All of the files are part of the template repo, the directory is where the template will be stored
+
+apt-get install mr # this is optional, but highly recommended
+
+==Clone the template==
+
+    mkdir -p ~/work/git
+    cd !$
+    git clone git://github.com/RichiH/vcsh.git vcsh
+    cd vcsh
+    ln -s vcsh /usr/local/bin
+    cd
+    vcsh clone git://github.com/RichiH/vcsh_mr_template.git mr.vcsh 
+
+==Enable your test repository==
+
+    mv ~/.zsh   ~/zsh.bak
+    mv ~/.zshrc ~/zsh.bak
+    cd ~/.config/mr/config.d/
+    ln -s ../available.d/mr.vcsh .
+    cd
+    mr up
+
+==Set up your own repos==
+
+Now, it's time to edit the template config and fill it with your own remotes:
+
+    vim .config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh
+    vim .config/mr/available.d/zsh.vcsh
+
+And then create your own stuff
+
+    vcsh init foo
+    vcsh run foo git add -f bar baz quux
+    vcsh run foo git remote add origin git://quuux
+    vcsh run foo git commit
+    vcsh run foo git push
+    
+    cp .config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh .config/mr/available.d/foo.vcsh
+    vim .config/mr/available.d/foo.vcsh # add your own repo
+
+Done!
+
+==Daily use==
+
+This is the beauty of it all. Once you are set up, just run:
+
+   mr up
+   mr push
+
+Neat.
