multi-repo

Multi repo is a command line tool which allows you to manage multiple git repositories at a time and apply to them some specific rules (such as: add qa checks, configure CI, normalize config files, ensure vendor packages).

Installation

git clone git@github.com:linkorb/multi-repo.git
cd multi-repo
docker build . --tag linkorb-repo:0.1 --file Dockerfile
docker run -d --rm -t -i -v=${PWD}:/app --name linkorb-repo-php linkorb-repo:0.1
docker exec linkorb-repo-php composer install # install PHP dependencies

Configuration

To specify list of repositories and define rules repos.yaml file used. See repos.yaml.dist to get an idea on that config. It might look like that:

parameters:
  repos:
    defaults: ~
    configs:
      myAwesomeRepo:
        gitUrl: 'git@github.com:linkorb/your-repo-name.git'
        variables: ~
        fixers:
          circleci:
            template: "%kernel.project_dir%/templates/.circleci/config.yml.twig"
          qaChecks:
            checks:
              - "phpcs"
              - "phpstan"
          githubWorkflows:
            templates:
              ".github/workflows/production.yml": "https://raw.github.com/…./production.yml.twig"
              ".github/workflows/staging.yml": "https://raw.github.com/…./staging.yml.twig"

Run command

To execute command please run /app/bin/console linkorb:multi-repo:fix. It's possible to run over specific repo only or apply a specific fixer. For more options take a look on: /app/bin/console linkorb:multi-repo:fix --help

Flow

• Once you'll run the "fix" command, the tool will iterate over all repositories, do git clone (if needed) and git pull on default branch (which is master in most of the cases).
• After the command finishes execution, you can go to repositories under ./repositories/source directory, review, commit & push changes.
• To have an overview of repositories which will contain any changes, please run: /app/bin/console linkorb:multi-repo:list-uncommitted
• To execute a custom command for repositories, please run: /app/bin/console linkorb:multi-repo:exec
• To update repositories, please run: /app/bin/console linkorb:multi-repo:update
• To dump fixer config, please run: /app/bin/console linkorb:multi-repo:config

The repositories base path

• By default, repositories/ in this project's directory is used as the repository base path. You can change this to a different location by specifying a custom absolute path in MULTI_REPO_REPOSITORIES_PATH in your .env.local file
• You can also specify custom repos.yaml location. For that you need to specify MULTI_REPO_CONFIG_PATH (defaults: under root dir). It must be either absolute path or relative from root dir and ends up with config file name.
• You can have following hierarchy of metadata (priority of overriding in the same order):
  • metadata section in mains repos.yaml config
  • metadata section in repo.yaml config (located relative to main repos.yaml as ./repos/${REPOSITORY_NAME}/repo.yaml)
  • metadata section in repo.yaml config in destination repository
• The repositories base path directory is structured in the following way:
  • one directory per configured repository (optionally with sub-directories), which contains an actual state of each repository, changes, etc.
  • .multi-repo-cache directory which is meant to be used for restoring initial data in case of exception during an execution

Miscellaneous

• To access protected url as a template for fixer, etc. you need to define in .env.local following parameters:
  • HTTP_CLIENT_AUTHORIZATION_TYPE (token for github access tokens)
  • HTTP_CLIENT_AUTHORIZATION_VALUE
