gitlab_clone

Description

gitlab_clone allows you to clone repositories from a gitlab servers group using the gitlab api. The itch I was scratching by writing this was that I was writing cookbooks for home and work. I wanted an easier way to download all of my cookbooks so that I could work with all of them at once. Anyone that has worked with chef knows that you can have a lot of repos comporising all of your cookbooks...

Features

gitlab_clone currently features the following:

• Default cloning of all repos that are in a group called Cookbooks.
• Can pick what group you can download all the repos in that group from.
• Will do a git pull if an existing repo has been detected.
• Support for using either ssh or the web url to download.
• List the repos in a group before cloning them.

Examples

gitlab-clone -l -g Home
