github-cli extension allowing to manage multiple github repositories at once

---

gh-gr

gh-gr is a GitHub repository management tool based on the project github-repo by Cristian Henzel.

Since the original project used a configuration file containing sensitive information, the issue has been addressed by reinventing the tool as an extension to the github cli (gh).

Installation

Prerequisites: github cli (gh)

To install gr:

$ gh extension install https://github.com/sarumaj/gh-gr

Usage

$ gh gr --help

First, create the configuration:

$ gh gr init -d SOMEDIR -c 10

or, if you are willing to exclude some repositories, you can use regular expressions:

$ gh gr init -c 10 -d SOMEDIR -e ".*repo1" -e "SOMEORG/repo-.*" -s

Run gh gr init --help or gh gr help init to retrieve more information about the init command.

After the configuration is created, you can pull all repositories using:

$ gh gr pull

you can view the status of the repositories using:

$ gh gr status

and you can push all repositories using:

$ gh gr push

After creating new repositories on the server or after user data changes, you can update the local configuration using:

$ gh gr update
