## Overview

Gitman is a language-agnostic dependency manager using Git. It aims to serve as a submodules replacement and provides advanced options for managing versions of nested Git repositories.

## Setup

### Requirements

- Python 3.8+

- Git 2.8+ (with [stored credentials](http://gitman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup/git/))

### Installation

Install this tool globally with [pipx](https://pipxproject.github.io/pipx/) (or pip):

```sh

$ pipx install gitman

```

or add it to your [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/) project:

```sh

$ poetry add gitman

```

### Configuration

Generate a sample config file:

```sh

$ gitman init

```

or manually create one (`gitman.yml` or `.gitman.yml`) in the root of your working tree:

```yaml

location: vendor/gitman

sources:

  - repo: "https://github.com/kstenerud/iOS-Universal-Framework"

    name: framework

    rev: Mk5-end-of-life

  - repo: "https://github.com/jonreid/XcodeCoverage"

    name: coverage

    links:

      - target: Tools/XcodeCoverage

  - repo: "https://github.com/dxa4481/truffleHog"

    name: trufflehog

    rev: master

    scripts:

      - chmod a+x truffleHog/truffleHog.py

  - repo: "https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome"

    name: fontawesome

    rev: master

    sparse_paths:

      - "webfonts/*"

  - repo: "https://github.com/google/material-design-icons"

    name: material-design-icons

    rev: master

groups:

  - name: code

    members:

      - framework

      - trufflehog

  - name: resources

    members:

      - fontawesome

      - material-design-icons

default_group: code

```

Ignore the dependency storage location:

```sh

$ echo vendor/gitman >> .gitignore

```

## Usage

See the available commands:

```sh

$ gitman --help

```

### Updating Dependencies

Get the latest versions of all dependencies:

```sh

$ gitman update

```

which will essentially:

1. Create a working tree at ``/``/``

2. Fetch from `repo` and checkout the specified `rev`

3. Symbolically link each ``/`` from ``/`` (if specified)

4. Repeat for all nested working trees containing a config file

5. Record the actual commit SHAs that were checked out (with `--lock` option)

6. Run optional post-install scripts for each dependency

where `rev` can be:

- all or part of a commit SHA: `123def`

- a tag: `v1.0`

- a branch: `main`

- a `rev-parse` date: `'main@{2015-06-18 10:30:59}'`

Alternatively, get the latest versions of specific dependencies:

```sh

$ gitman update framework

```

or named groups:

```sh

$ gitman update resources

```

### Restoring Previous Versions

Display the versions that are currently installed:

```sh

$ gitman list

```

Reinstall these specific versions at a later time:

```sh

$ gitman install

```

### Deleting Dependencies

Remove all installed dependencies:

```sh

$ gitman uninstall

```
