NAME

----

git-unify - Share .git directory among local repositories of same origin

SYNOPSIS

--------

[verse]

'git unify' init

'git unify' deinit

'git unify' clone  []

'git unify' submodule-add  []

'git unify' submodule-update []

'git unify' shared-dir [--verify]

DESCRIPTION

-----------

Shares files under .git directory among local repositories to squeeze disk

usage and/or speed up clone speed. Especially useful for example if you

have many repositories that uses same submodules.

COMMANDS

--------

init::

	Share files (eg. refs, objects) of repository's .git directory under

	"$HOME/.shared-git" (by default) so that other local clones of the

	same origin can use shared files there. The files are moved to central

	and symlink to them are placed under local .git directory.

+

If shared .git directory is already set up and the shared refs are not

fast-forward of local refs, this command will fail. If so, push your local

changes to remote (if any), and run command below to make shared refs

up-to-date.

+

------------

$ git push origin the-branch

$ git unify update-shared-branch the-branch

------------

deinit::

	Reverts the effect of 'git unify init'. Files under .git directoy are

	no longer shared (not symlinked).

clone::

	Does 'git clone' with shared .git directory used/set up. If the remote

        repository is already shared ('git unify init' is done somewhere),

        it does not fetches remote directory but instead clones from the

        shared .git directory.

submodule-add::

	Does 'git submodule add' with shared .git directory used/set up.

submodule-update::

	Does 'git submodule update --init' with shared .git directory used/set up.

shared-dir::

	Prints shared .git directory for current repository. Exits with non-zero code if '--verify'

	is specified and the directory does not exist.

SHARING .git DIRECTORIES

------------------------

git-unify shares .git/refs, so local repositories of same origin that are

unified shares their branches. Branch updating at one working directory would

affect the other.
