gitexporter v1.5.3

gitexporter cli tool

You're in the right place if:

• Do you have an open-source project with an open and closed part and you want to work in one git repo without git submodules?
• Do you want to public some private GitHub repo directories?
• You want to keep the authorship and history of the comments
• You don't want to use git submodules

Others cases:

• You are developing in a git mono repository and want to open-source some directories
• You are developing some OpenSource project and want to disallow open some secret files

how it works ?

gitexporter create a new git repo from your existing repository with only allowed public files and dirs.

The gitexporter goes through the git commit tree and adds to a new repo only the allowed files.

Example

• / -- monorepository root
• /apps/service1 -- it's open source
• /apps/optional-secure-service2 -- it's closed source
• /gitexporter.config.json -- git exporter config file

gitexporter.config.json

{
    "forceReCreateRepo": true,
    "targetRepoPath": "my-open-source-repo",
    "sourceRepoPath": ".",
    "allowedPaths": ["apps/service1/*"],
    "ignoredPaths": ["apps/service1/.env", "apps/optional-secure-service2", "gitexporter.config.json"]
}

Just run npx gitexporter gitexporter.config.json and you will get a new git repository with just apps/service1 directory.
