All, I've been using ``mr`` to track my various projects in git, along with my home directory. I really like how it allows me to organize and track my work. For some time, I've been using a home-grown utility to quiet down the output from ``mr status``. In this way, I can run ``mr status`` from my home directory and check the status of all 130+ repositories at once without having to scroll back through twice that many lines of text looking for something interesting.
The output from ``mr status`` by default looks something like the following:: mr status: /home/mike/. mr status: /home/mike/.vim M vimrc mr status: /home/mike/projects/ProjectOne mr status: /home/mike/projects/ProjectTwo [...] mr status: /home/mike/projects/ProjectN I could grep away the blank lines and the ``mr status:...`` lines, but this makes it difficult in general to tell which repository contains the changes. I prefer to keep the ``mr status:...`` lines for repositories with changes, but squelch them otherwise. In the above example, my preferred output would be: mr status: /home/mike/.vim M vimrc In case someone else might find it useful, I've published this Python-based utility (which I've named ``ptee`` for "Progress Tee") on the Python Package Index. I alias ``mr`` to point to the below script (which I call ``mrwrap``) so that I can execute ``mr status`` and get the quiet output I prefer. To try this out:: pip install ptee alias mr='mrwrap' Then save the text between the ``---cut`` lines as ``mrwrap`` and make it executable. The ``ptee`` utility can be found here for manual downloading: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=ptee&version=0.2.0&:action=display ---cut mrwrap--- #!/bin/bash mrtee() { ptee \ --regex '^mr (status|update|push): /' \ --regex '^(Everything|Already) up-to-date' \ --regex '^\s*$' \ --heading-regex '^mr \S+: finished ' } mr "$@" 2>&1 | mrtee ---cut mrwrap--- Michael Henry _______________________________________________ vcs-home mailing list [email protected] http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home
