A typescript app containing gulp tasks that will update the badges in your local README.md files within your local git repositories.
This means the repo-owner can :
- manually test all their badges, both cosmetically & functionally, quickly from one place rather than the slow process of checking each repo individually
- ensure badge consistency across many repos
- easily spot problems (failing builds, failing tests, long running branches, etc) with any of their repos all in one place
Given this app will cause changes to multiple repos, I added gulp tasks to do the following:
- Undo all the README.md files at once
- Commit all the README.md files at once
- Pull all the repos at once
- Push all the repos at once
The act of creating this repo allowed me to create my first from-scratch typescript app, and learn more about typescript, gulp & npm along the way.
At some point I may try to make a generic scaffold app from this repo, and publish it as a template on Visual Studio Marketplace and/or Yeoman.
