NAME

Group::Git - Base module for group of git repository operations.

VERSION

This documentation refers to Group::Git version 0.7.7.

SYNOPSIS

use Group::Git;

my $group = Group::Git->new( conf => {...} );

# pull remote versions for all repositories
$group->pull();

# any other arbitary command
$group->log;

DESCRIPTION

This is the base module it will try to use all roles in the Group::Git::Cmd::* namespace. This allows the creation of new command by just putting a role in that namespace. Classes may extend this class to implement their own methods for finding repositories (eg Group::Git::Github, Group::Git::Bitbucket, Group::Git::Gitosis and Group::Git::Stash)

Group-Git vs Git Submodule

It has been pointed out that something similar could be achieved using the git submodule command so here are some reasons for using Group-Git:

  • No git repository needed to manage all the repositories in fact no configuration is required at all.

  • Group-Git just cares about repositories not their commits as submodule does.

  • When using one of github.com / bitbucket.com or gitosis configurations when new repositories are added the next group-git pull will get those new repositories.

  • You can add your own commands to group-git currently via perl modules but in the future in the same fashion as git does (eg adding a program called group-git-command somewhere on your path will result in you being able to run group-git command)

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

cmd ($name)
