GitGorilla is a powerful CLI tool that allows you to seamlessly merge multiple Git repositories into a single new repository on GitHub. It automates the creation of the new repository, merges the specified repositories, and provides real-time progress updates, making the process efficient and hassle-free.

Features

  • Merge Multiple Repositories: Combine multiple Git repositories into one, preserving their histories.
  • Automatic Remote Repository Creation: Uses the gh tool to create a new repository on GitHub and sets it up for you.
  • Progress Tracking: Displays a progress bar and status updates to keep you informed throughout the process.
  • Customizable Input: Accepts various input formats for repository names and URLs.
  • Interactive Environment Setup: Prompts for and sets a default GitHub username if not already configured.
