copy-git v0.1.0

copy-git

Copy files from external git repos and easily pull updates.

Install

npm install copy-git

Copy from git to local

Usage

copy-git [srcRepo] [srcPath...] [destPath]

Examples

Copy this project's src files to your current directory:

copy-git git@github.com:winton/copy-git.git "src/*.ts" .

The command generates a file .copygit.yml, which allows you to update copied files.

Add a pound sign at the end of the srcRepo to copy files from a specific version:

copy-git git@github.com:winton/copy-git.git#6093d11 "src/*.ts" .

Update copied files

Usage

copy-git [destPath...]

Examples

To update all copied files, run copy-git without arguments from a directory that has a .copygit.yml file:

copy-git

You may also limit the updates to certain files:

copy-git src/*

Find/replace after copy

Usage

copy-git [srcRepo] [srcPath...] [destPath] -f FIND -r REPLACE

Examples

The -f (find) and -r (replace) options transform copied files:

copy-git git@github.com:winton/copy-git.git "src/*.ts" src/copyGit -f CopyGit -r CopyGit2

The -f option may also be a regular expression:

copy-git git@github.com:winton/copy-git.git "src/*.ts" src/copyGit -f "/([cC])opyGit/g" -r "$1opyGit2"

You may specify more than one find/replace by adding more -f FIND -r REPLACE arguments.
