Using codacy-meta-repo

Feel free to check meta for better understanding the underlying tool. This repository has some scripts to help you on operations for all tracked repositories.

Updating and cloning the tracked repositories

Running ./meta_update.sh will track and download all public repositories on Codacy organization on GitHub.

Commiting the contents of common

Running ./commit_common.sh will copy and replace the contents in common folder to every tracked repository. Meaning that after changes on any file on the common folder, you can rely on this script to commit those changes.

Other operations on all tracked repositories

meta will perform operations on all tracked repositories, for example, to push changes on all the repositories, you can:

meta git push

You can also rely on meta loop for non-git operations, for instance, to perform an ls on each tracked repo, you can:

meta loop ls

Underlying behaviour of the scripts

meta_update.sh

Repositories are tracked based on the contents of .meta, repositories are added and cloned with: meta project import [repo] [url]

The ./meta_update.sh script will fetch the names and urls of the public repositories with the help of update_repo_list.js.

update_repo_list.js

Uses octokit to fetch the public repositories information - name and url - and outputs them to .repos.txt for consumpiton at the meta project import step.

commit_common.sh

Relies on meta loop to copy and replace the contents in common folder to every tracked repository. After the files are added to every repository, it uses meta git to stage and commit those files on each respective repository.
