infer-upstream ============== Takes a repo name, and looks up the upstream repository. If there is an upstream repository, writes it to standard out. Otherwise writes nothing. Usage: ```` noon@dev> infer-upstream -r scirate3 -u silky git@github.com:draftable/scirate3.git ```` Another usage: ```` noon@dev> cd scirate3 noon@dev> git remote add upstream `infer-upstream --using-cwd` ```` A more interesting usage (and the reason I wrote this) is to use the `upstream_everything.sh` script. It performs the following task. For all folders in a given directory: * go into each one, * if it is a github repo, * look up the upstream repo, * if we find it, * set it as a new remote. Usage: ```` noon@~> cd dev noon@dev> git clone git@github.com:silky/infer-upstream noon@dev> infer-upstream/upstream_everything.sh ... ```` With `upstream` set on your repos, you can then run `fetch_upstreams.sh`, if you like, which will bring down any incoming changes and give print out a short summary. Example: ```` noon@dev>infer-upstream/fetch_upstreams.sh fetching upstream for Javascript-Voronoi ... 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) ```` Notes: * This script assumes every folder in the ~/dev directory is the clone of a Github repository. * Github currently limits you to 60 unauthenticated API requests *per hour*; this approach uses one API request per folder.
