git-monorepo
============
> Make Git monorepos like a boss.
`git-monorepo` is a tool that allows you to combine two or more Git repositories into one repository and preserves the commit history for each repo as well as the directory structure.
## Features
- Preserves commit history for each repo
- Preserves Directory structure of each repo
- Orders Commits chronologically
## Building
git-monorepo requires atleast Go 1.18 to build.
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/zikani03/git-monorepo
$ go build -o git-monorepo ./cmd/main.go
```
## Usage
> NOTE: It's currently very CPU intensive at the moment, I'm gonna look for ways to reduce CPU usage. May also be memory intensive if you use the `--in-memory` flag. I also haven't tried it on very large repos (i.e. repos with very many many commits)
### Create monorepo locally
```shell
$ git-monorepo init --sources gh:zikani03/articulated,gh:zikani03/pakadali --target toy-projects
```
Or with full git urls:
```shell
$ git-monorepo init --sources https://github.com/nndi-oss/ussdproxy,gh:nndi-oss/ussd-whois,https://github.com/nndi-oss/dialoguss --target ussd-projects
```
## IDEAS / TODO
- Support "squashing-merging" - that is merge the repos without preserving fine-grained commit history
- Make Git Submodules instead of mangling history
- Clone repositories in parallel
- Create monorepo locally and push to github (and other git hosting services)
```shell
$ git monorepo init --preserve-history \
--sources gh:zikani03/articulated,gh:zikani03/pakadali \
--target gh:zikani03/toy-projects \
--github-token=$GH_TOKEN
```
