Repository files navigation

Commute

Commute maintains a list of git repositories, and then allows you to track them across machines easily.

commute add in a git repo will add the remote to ~/.config/commute/config.yaml and a symlink to the checked out workspace in ~/.config/commute. If the remote already appears in config.yaml, the symlink will be created (if it doesn't exists already) but no new entry will be added to the file.

commute list enumerates those repositories, with the annotation "-> MISSING" if commute doesn't know about that repo being checked out.

That's the whole story. It's easy, with this limited tool, to do more useful stuff though.

The author has an end-of-day script that git statuses everything in the commute list, to make sure local changes are all pushed.

Gist synchronization

There's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem with the commute/config.yaml file. You're using commute to keep the files on various systems synchronized. But you need to synchronize the commute/config.yaml file itself.

Since git repos often are hosted on github, it seemed reasonable to have commute synchronize itself via a gist. You'll notice that commute warns you that your oauth token hasn't been set up yet with every invocation.

First, create personal access token on github, and plug that into the field in the config.yaml. Run commute list once (or any subcommand) and commute will create a gist. Copy the token and the gist id through some other channel to other machines you want to sync to et voila!
