Clone and Setup Upstream and Origin

gitstrap init <gitstrap-repo> <my-repo> <folder-name>

This command works as follows:

  • Clones gitstrap-repo(origin) from GitStrap on user local system with same git-branch as that of origin, say master.
  • Sets the upstream(user remote) and origin on user local system respectively.
  • Push to user remote repo.
  • folder-name is optional argument of gitstrap init command.
    • Without folder-name: Clones origin into your current location of directory.
    • With folder-name : Clones origin into the specified location of your directory.

Sync Update from GitStrap Repo

gitstrap sync <upstream-branch>

gitstrap sync command helps to automatedly sync your repo with that of gitstrap repo.

This command works as follows:

  • Pulls from origin i.e., master (from default git-branch)
  • Merges into user local repo i.e., master (same git-branch as that during clone)
  • upstream-branch is optional argument of gitstrap sync command.
    • This lets you choose between your git-branch for sync.
    • Example: If you want to sync origin's master with your repo's development, include upstream-branch with gitstrap sync command.
