Using the `mr` command to Manage Version Control Repositories (with examples)
mr register
This command is used to register a new repository with mr. When registering a repository, mr creates a configuration file that specifies the repository details and allows mr to manage it.
mr register
Motivation for using the example:
Registering a repository with mr allows you to manage it more easily by providing a centralized way to perform actions on multiple repositories at once.
Explanation of arguments: No arguments are needed for this command.
Example output: If successful, the command will create a configuration file for the registered repository and display a message indicating that the registration was successful.
mr -j5 update
This command is used to update repositories in parallel, with a specified number of concurrent jobs. In the example, we are updating the repositories using 5 concurrent jobs.
mr -j5 update
Motivation for using the example: Updating multiple repositories can be time-consuming, especially if they are large or numerous. By running the update command with multiple concurrent jobs, we can speed up the process and make it more efficient.
Explanation of arguments:
-j5: Specifies the number of concurrent jobs to use for updating repositories. In this example, we are using 5 concurrent jobs.
Example output: The command will output the status of each updated repository, indicating whether it was successfully updated or if there were any errors.
mr status
This command is used to print the status of all registered repositories. It provides an overview of each repository’s current state.
mr status
Motivation for using the example: Checking the status of all registered repositories allows you to quickly see which repositories have changes, which are up to date, and which may require attention.
Explanation of arguments: No arguments are needed for this command.
Example output: The command will output the status of each registered repository, including information such as the current branch, the number of changes, and the commit message of the latest commit.
mr checkout
This command is used to checkout all registered repositories to the latest version, pulling in any changes made to the remote repository.
mr checkout
Motivation for using the example: Checking out the latest version of all registered repositories ensures that your local copies are up to date and in sync with the remote repositories. This is especially useful if you have multiple repositories that are interdependent and need to be kept in sync.
Explanation of arguments: No arguments are needed for this command.
Example output: The command will output the progress of checking out each registered repository, indicating which repositories were successfully updated and if there were any errors. It will also display the repository URL and the branch that was checked out.
