Scripts

Here’s my personal selection of scripts that you need.

Recursive Git Mirrors

Mirroring git repositories is something we all need to do from time to time. And if not- you’re probably too lazy to do it so you don’t (you should always keep backups)

If you don’t know how to change the push url of a git repository then see this

Here’s a script to mirror every repository in the current folder recursively and in parallel (so you don’t have to wait for each one to finish for the other to start).

Parallel
Serial (slow)

cd /home/fluffy/personal/mirrors || exit

mirror_repo() {
  repo="${1%/.git}"
  echo "Mirroring $repo..."
  cd "$repo" || exit
  git fetch -p origin
  git remote show origin
  git push --mirror
  cd -
}

export -f mirror_repo

find . -type d -name '*.git' -print0 | parallel -0 mirror_repo

cd /home/fluffy/personal/mirrors || exit

find . -type d -name '*.git' -exec bash -c '
  repo="${1%/.git}"
  echo "Mirroring $repo..."
  cd "$repo" || exit
  git fetch -p origin
  git remote show origin
  git push --mirror
  cd -' _ {} \;

Save the script to a .sh file and thes do a bash filename.sh and it should work.

This script goes through every folder is the /home/fluffy/mirrors directory after which it checks for a .git folder, then fetches the updates from the previous origin (fetch -p), then prints out the new origin ( learn how to set it ) and then finally pushes it (--mirror).
