Git fetcher

[!NOTE] WIP: this library is usable but its API may change in breaking ways.

A lightweight tool to create local copies of remote repositories.

Highlights:

• Simple file-based configuration
• gitweb-compatible local repositories
• Automation-friendly, including secret handling

Quickstart

Sample configuration in txtpb format:

# .gitfetcher
github {
  # Sync any public repository by name.
  sources { name: "golang/go" }
  sources { name: "mtth/gitfetcher" }

  # Sync all repositories available to a given authentication token.
  sources {
    auth {
      token: "$GITHUB_TOKEN" # Read from the environment at runtime
      include_forks: false # This is the default, and can be overridden
    }
  }

  # More sources...
}

Then run gitfetcher sync . in the folder containing the above configuration.
