git-updater

A simple Go application to automate updating multiple local git repositories by pulling the latest changes.

Features

• Reads a list of repository paths from a configuration file.
• Iterates through each repository and performs a git pull.
• Logs the update status for each repository.

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/gor0utine/git-updater.git
   cd git-updater

2. Configure repositories:

   • Create a file named config.json in the project directory.
   • Add the absolute paths to your local git repositories, one per line.

   Example config.json:

   {
      "interval_minutes": 10,
      "repositories": [
        "/Users/Username/Projects/my-awesome-project"
      ],
      "folders": [
        "/Users/Username/Projects/golang-projects"
      ]
   }
   

3. Build and run:

   go build -o git-updater main.go
   ./git-updater config.json

Requirements

• Go 1.18 or newer
• Git installed and available in your system's PATH

How it works

The application reads the config.json file, changes directory to each listed repository, and runs git pull. Output and errors are logged to the console.
