Robo Clone

Usage

• Run npm install -g roborepo
• Navigate to the directory where you would like the student repos to be cloned to
• Get the API key from the #frontend Slack channel

• Run robo-clone --key APIKEYHERE

Program Overview

This application was built to streamline the process of cloning down students' GH repos and running installation for each of them. Now instead of manually grabbing each link, changing directories, and running npm i, you can run one command to clone all of the repos you want! Answer the questions prompted by Robo Clone and you'll have your projects up and running in no time!

Tech Used

• Node
• enquirer
• shelljs
• node-fetch
• dotenv

Troubleshooting

• If students are private, make sure to accept invitation before running robo-clone.
• If you run into permission errors when running robo-clone, run sudo chown -R $USER <FILE PATH> in the directory that you are running the command.
  • For example, for the error Missing write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules, you can run sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules.
• Note: This tool expects the columns of the spreadsheet to be in this order:

Timestamp	Your name (or list all names of project pair/group):	Current Mod:	Project:	Project Manager:	GitHub Repo Link:	Deployed Project Link (if applicable):	Anything else?

Future Iterations

• Pull from column names instead of hardcoded index
• Add more inclusive regex
• Fix user experience with API key
• Auto-test functionality
• More specific error handling for incorrectly formatted data, missing links, etc.
