git-defpath

Description

git-defpath creates additional remotes for a Git repository. Remotes that can be setup includes ssh-based push paths, remotes for upstream repositories and forks. This is a Git port of the OpenJDK Code Tools defpath.

Usage

$ git defpath -h
usage: git-defpath [options] [<PEER>] [<PEER-PUSH>]
        -u, --username NAME  username for push URL
        -r, --remote URI     remote for which to set paths
        -s, --secondary URL  secondary peer repository base URL
        -m, --mercurial      Deprecated: force use of mercurial
        -d, --default        use current default path to compute push path
            --upstream       create remote 'upstream' for the upstream repository
            --fork           create remote 'fork' for the personal fork of the repository
        -g, --gated          create gated push URL
        -n, --dry-run        do not perform actions, just print output
        -v, --version        Print the version of this tool
        -h, --help           Show this help text

Example

Configure an SSH based push path for a repository cloned via HTTP(S):

$ git defpath -d

Configure a remote named "upstream" for the upstream repository for a personal fork:

$ git defpath --upstream

Configure a remote named "fork" for the personal fork of an upstream repository:

$ git defpath --fork

Configuration

Configure the default value for the --username flag (to "ehelin" in the below example):

$ git configure --global defpath.username ehelin

Configure git-defpath to always compute the push path based on the pull path:

$ git configure --global defpath.default true
