If you need to clone a bundle of repositories, look into the
`post-clone-retired` hook.
+ You can also use a single git repository with several branches. Use the `-b`
+ option to specify a branch at clone time, the default is `master`.
+
+* commit:
+ Commit in all repositories
+
* delete:
Delete an existing repository.
an interactive user.
* status:
- Show statuses of all vcsh repositories.
+ Show statuses of all/one vcsh repositories.
* upgrade:
Upgrade repository to currently recommended settings.
Interesting knobs you can turn:
+* <$VCSH_GITATTRIBUTES>:
+ Can be <none>, or any other value.
+
+ <none> will not maintain Git attributes in a special location.
+
+ If set to any other value, repo-specific gitattributes files will be maintained.
+
+ Defaults to <none>.
+
* <$VCSH_GITIGNORE>:
Can be <exact>, <none>, or <recursive>.
Defaults to <exact>.
+* <$VCSH_VCSH_WORKTREE>:
+ Can be <absolute>, or <relative>.
+
+ <absolute> will set an absolute path; defaulting to <$HOME>.
+
+ <relative> will set a path relative to <$GIT_DIR>.
+
+ Defaults to <absolute>.
+
Less interesting knobs you could turn:
* <$VCSH_DEBUG>:
same rules as above apply. The dot between the repository's name and the hook
is mandatory, though.
-Available hooks are <pre-enter>, <post-enter>, <pre-run>, <post-run>,
-<pre-upgrade>, and <post-upgrade>. If you need more, vcsh is trivial to patch,
-but please let upstream know so we can ship them by default.
