In Git, everything is possible. But for some common commands I wrote these shortcut scripts. Some of them are like helper expressions to use inside another Git cmd line.
Most of them had to be implemented on the Plumbing level (which means, a little bit of hacking), but provide features useful
... [More] for me such as:
git heads-for-merge -- what does your FETCH_HEAD say about all the heads that have been fetched for merge?
git the-empty-tree -- the ID to use if you need to refer to the empty tree in your (tree-merging) commands
git mread-and-commit -- read in multiple refs, merge the trees, and then make a merge commit, without touching your index or the working dir (useful for managing imported histories)
git merge-without-working -- the same idea -- advance your HEAD by merging
And more... [Less]
mrepo builds a local APT/Yum RPM repository from local ISO files, downloaded updates, and extra packages from 3rd party repositories. It takes care of setting up the ISO files, downloading the RPMs, configuring HTTP access and providing PXE/TFTP resources for remote network installations.
Distribute-a-collection-of-packages-on{to,}-multiple-CDs. Especially good for future use with APT.
"distribute" program makes doing the tasks related to creating a CD set for distribution of a collection of packages easier. The tasks include:
* laying out the CDs filesystem (splitting the large
... [More] amount of packages into several discs etc.),
* preparing the collection for use by APT (indexing),
* creating ISO images and recording the discs.
Periodical updates to the initially distributed collection can be issued with help of "distribute".
This utility will be useful to you, if you have a collection of packages on one machine (say, a mirror), and you want to bring them to your home computer (and install), or if you would like to distribute the collection of packages for some other purpose [Less]
