git-config-manager

Manage and unify .git/config files from multiple repositories by creating symlinks and generating a summary.

Features

• Scan multiple target directories for Git repositories.
• Automatically create directories mirroring repository structure.
• Create symbolic links to each repository's .git/config.
• Generate a formatted summary.txt for each target directory.
• Log operations with clear, indented output.

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/git-config-manager.git
cd git-config-manager

Usage

Edit the main() function in main.py to set your target directories:

from pathlib import Path

target_dirs = [
    Path(r"C:\Dev\personal_repos"),
    Path(r"C:\Dev\team_repos")
]
output_base = Path.cwd()

Then run:

python main.py

This will:

1. Scan all Git repositories under the target directories.
2. Create a folder structure in output_base mirroring the repositories.
3. Generate symbolic links to .git/config files.
4. Write *_summary.txt files summarizing all links.

Example

After running, your output directory might look like this:

output_base/
├── personal_repos/
│   ├── repo1/
│   │   └── config -> symlink to repo1/.git/config
│   └── repo2/
│       └── config -> symlink to repo2/.git/config
├── team_repos/
│   └── ...

And the summary file personal_repos_summary.txt:

[SUMMARY] Git config links for personal_repos
======================================================================
Repo           Link Path
----------------------------------------------------------------------
repo1          config -> C:\Dev\personal_repos\repo1\.git\config
repo2          config -> C:\Dev\personal_repos\repo2\.git\config
