Powershell scripts to commit/fetch/merge/push automatically a group of Git and Subversion repositories.
Best Features:
- works without problem with a list of Git|Subversion repositories, stored locally, on a usb disk, on a network share or online
- to add|remove|edit a repository just edit a .csv file, no Powershell scripting is knowledge required
- if Git|Svn central repositories (bare repositories) are stored in an external disk this script can search all drives for the repository and remap the remote url ("git remote" or "svn relocate") automatically
- all Git|Svn command output are checked for errors, and only error message are shown to the user
- with Unattended mode the user will have to choose what repository to sync and no other question will be asked; otherwise, the user will be asked for confirmation only for commit/merge/push with content (empty commit/merge/push will be skipped without question to the user)
- the script saves automatically a series of log files, to see only relevant messages (.diff.txt for diffs, .core.txt for essential messages etc)
The script can be also an useful cheatsheet of Git|Subversion commands, because all the commands run from the script can be run from the command line.
The only 2 files you have to touch are:
- "Sync-Repos.stex.ps1" to see what the start script do (and to execute it when you are ready)
- "Sync-Repos-ActionsList-1.csv" to start configuring your repositories actions
To execute the script "Sync-Repos.stex.ps1" from Windows you have to enable execution of unsigned scripts with the Powershell command form and Administrator prompt:
"Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned"

The "code\lib" directory contains Powershell libraries written by me to work with Git/Svn repositories.
The "sample repos directory contains Git and Subversion repositories (working copy, bare repository, detached head repository ) already initialized and connected.
To automate the use of repositories (eg GitHub, Bitbucket) that require passwords use Microsoft Git Credential Manager for Windows. This program stores password securely and "automagically" (the first time the user insert the password in any Git command the program saves them) and inserts automatically passwords for Git commands that require them.
