git-upstream

Manage upstream git repos.

It creates a standalone branch "git-upstream-config-branch" to store config file thus the extra config file does not mess up other files.

Install:

• Copy this script to a dir in PATH.

• Run following command to create a branch to store config:

  git upstream init
  

  Edit the configure file. Save and checkout to master.

Configure

Configure file ".gitupstream" syntax:

<upstream_name_1>     <upstream_url_1>
<upstream_name_2>     <upstream_url_2>
...

Example:

> cat .gitupstream
chriswolfvision     git@github.com:chriswolfvision/eplot.git

With above config, "git upstream" will:

• Add missing remote.
• Try to set-url for each upstream.
• fetch -p the upstream repo.
