Your Code, Perfectly Anchored

Repodock: Effortless GitHub Repository Management

Tired of losing track of your local GitHub repositories? Repodock is your personal code navigation assistant. Instantly create a centralized, symlinked directory that maps all your projects, making repository discovery as simple as a single command.

Installation

To get started with Repodock, follow these steps:

1. Install Repodock Globally
   Use npm to install Repodock globally on your system:

   npm install -g repodock

2. Set Up Your Repodock Directory
   Create a directory where all your repository symlinks will be stored. This will serve as your centralized "Repodock directory." You can choose any location on your system for this purpose.

   Windows Users:
   If you're using Windows, you might need to enable Developer Mode to allow symbolic link creation.

3. Initialize Repodock
   Replace git init with red init for initializing and automatically tracking repositories in Repodock.
   Run the following command inside your project directory:

   red init

4. Set Your Repodock Directory Path
   Link your chosen Repodock directory by running:

   red set <your-repodock-path>

5. Manage Repositories with Ease

   • Add a repository with an alias:

     red .             # Automatically uses the directory name as the alias
     red . my-project  # Specify a custom alias

   • Add a repository from an absolute path:

     red <your-absolute-path>  # Alias is set to the directory name by default

   • Remove a repository by alias:

     red rm <alias>

   • List all or search tracked repositories:

     red ls
     red ls | fzf

6. Need help?

   red --help

Customizing Commands

If you prefer a different command instead of red, you can customize it.
Modify the "bin" field in the package.json file to use your preferred alias, e.g., "rd".
