NAME¶
webcheckout - check out repositories referenced on a web page
SYNOPSIS¶
webcheckout [options] url [destdir]
DESCRIPTION¶
webcheckout downloads an url and parses it, looking for version control
repositories referenced by the page. It checks out each repository into a
subdirectory of the current directory, using whatever VCS program is
appropriate for that repository (git, svn, etc).
The information about the repositories is embedded in the web page using the
rel=vcs-* microformat, which is documented at
<
http://kitenet.net/~joey/rfc/rel-vcs/>.
If the optional destdir parameter is specified, VCS programs will be asked to
check out repositories into that directory. If there are multiple repositories
to check out, each will be checked out into a separate subdirectory of the
destdir.
OPTIONS¶
- -a, --auth
- Prefer authenticated repositories. By default, webcheckout
will use anonymous repositories when possible. If you have an account that
allows you to use authenticated repositories, you might want to use this
option.
- --no-act, -n
- Do not actually check anything out, just print out the
commands that would be run to check out the repositories.
- --quiet, -q
- Quiet mode. Do not print out the commands being run. (The
VCS commands may still be noisy however.)
PREREQUISITES¶
To use this program you will need lots of VCS programs installed, obviously. It
also depends on the perl LWP and HTML::Parser modules.
If the perl URI module is installed, webcheckout can heuristically guess what
you mean by partial URLs, such as "kitenet.net/~joey"'
