# gitexporter cli tool

You're in the right place if:

 - Do you have an **open-source** project with an **open** and **closed part** and you want to **work in one git repo** without git submodules?

 - Do you want to **public** some **private** GitHub **repo directories**?

 - You want to **keep** the **authorship** and **history** of the **comments**

 - You don't want to use git submodules

Others cases:

 - You are developing in a git mono repository and want to open-source some directories

 - You are developing some OpenSource project and want to disallow open some secret files

# how it works ?

`gitexporter` create a new git repo from your existing repository with only allowed public files and dirs.

The `gitexporter` goes through the git commit tree and adds to a new repo only the allowed files.

# Example

 - `/` -- monorepository root

 - `/apps/service1` -- it's open source

 - `/apps/optional-secure-service2` -- it's closed source

 - `/gitexporter.config.json` -- git exporter config file

`gitexporter.config.json`

```

{

    "forceReCreateRepo": true,

    "targetRepoPath": "my-open-source-repo",

    "sourceRepoPath": ".",

    "allowedPaths": ["apps/service1/*"],

    "ignoredPaths": ["apps/service1/.env", "apps/optional-secure-service2", "gitexporter.config.json"]

}

```

Just run `npx gitexporter gitexporter.config.json` and you will get a new git repository with just `apps/service1` directory.

# GITHUB ACTIONS CI EXAMPLE

 1. create a new user: `sync-bot`

 2. add new user ssh keys `SSH_SYNC_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY`: https://github.com/settings/keys

 3. add the user to `org/private` and `org/open` repo

 4. add `SSH_SYNC_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY` to `org/private` repo

 5. add CI files to `org/private` repo:
