Globally install GitStrap CLI

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.
