CodePack

A CLI tool to create local backups for multiple git repositories

Instructions

name will be the name of the project and the directory containing the code after packing

path will be the path that will be created in the archive

url the url to the target git repository

repos:
  - name: grype
    path: tools
    url: "https://github.com/anchore/grype.git"
  - name: semgrep
    path: tools
    url: "https://github.com/returntocorp/semgrep.git"
  - name: cobra
    path: development
    url: "https://github.com/spf13/cobra.git"

Usage of codepack:

  -config string
        Configuration file (default "codepack.yaml")
  -out string
        Output filename for the tarball (default "2023-06-14-git-backup.tar.gz")

codepack -config mycodepack.yaml -out "my-backups.tar.gz"

this will produce a gzipped tarball that can be extracted with tar if necessary

tar xf 2023-06-14-backup.tar.gz

The resulting directory structure after extraction for the example would be

codepack
|_ tools
   |_ grype
   |_ semgrep
|_ deveopment
   |_ cobra

these are bare, mirrored repositories which can be used with worktrees or cloned to another directory

mkdir somedir
git clone --all file://<full path to codepath>/tools/grype somedir/grype
cd somedir/grype
git branch
git status

Using worktrees:

cd codepack/tools/grype
git worktree add main main
cd main
git status

Using worktrees will create a folder named main with the main branch checkout in that directory
