I recently wrote a post about how to install configure vcsh and mr to convienently manage and use all your repositories. However for demostration this was quite a manual and long process. To achieve a very similar outcome in a much shorter time, you could use the provided template and customise from there.
The below will use vcsh to clone the git repository to mr.git in the ~/.config/vcsh/repo.d/ directory.
$ yaourt -Sy vcsh myrepos $ vcsh clone https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh_mr_template mr $ mr update
The above repository is not owned by me so I can not push changes to it. As such you will need to edit the configuration and point it to your repository. I have setup the follow:
https://github.com/crazzyfool/mr.git
Edit ~/.config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh like so.
$ vim ~/.config/mr/available.d/mr.vcsh
Don’t forget to replace the remote repository with your own.
[$HOME/.config/vcsh/repo.d/mr.git] checkout = vcsh clone https://github.com/crazzyfool/mr.git mr update = vcsh mr pull push = vcsh mr push status = vcsh mr status gc = vcsh mr gc
To see the current remote repository.
[andy@home-pc ~]$ vcsh mr remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh_mr_template
Push URL: https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh_mr_template
HEAD branch: master
Remote branch:
master tracked
Local branch configured for 'git pull':
master merges with remote master
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (up to date)
To remove the above origin from the repository and set your own as the upstream repository.
$ vcsh mr remote remove origin $ vcsh mr remote add origin https://github.com/crazzyfool/mr.git $ vcsh mr push --set-upstream origin master
Now you can add configurations as you like and push them to your remote repository simply with.
$ vcsh mr push
Or you could of course use mr to push changes to all repositories.
$ mr push
But that’s it! Take a look at my previous article or the official documentation for more information about how to add repositories.
