# Documentation for _gut_ | ||
|
||
GiellaLT contains over 200 repositories. If you want to check out many (or all) of them, you may need a program to handle operations to several repositories at the same time. for this, we have made a program called _gut_. | ||
|
||
- Gut should be installed as follows: First you install _rust_, then _gut_. | ||
- Rust can be installed following [this instruction](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started). | ||
If you have an old dysfunctional rust, as happened to this writer, do: `sudo port uninstall rust`, | ||
then go on and install rust as shown in the link above. | ||
- Then open a new shell, or do `. .profile` to tell your computer that you have rust. | ||
- Then install gut from [github.com/divvun/gut](https://github.com/divvun/gut). | ||
In a suitable folder, e.g. the `lang` folder, do (and note the final dot at the last command): | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
git clone https://github.com/divvun/gut.git | ||
cd gut | ||
cargo install --path . | ||
``` | ||
GiellaLT contains over 500 repositories. If you want to check out many (or all) of them, you may need a program to handle `git` operations over several repositories at the same time. For this we have made a tool called `gut`. | ||
|
||
Download and install `gut` as [instructed here](https://github.com/divvun/gut). | ||
|
||
Thereafter you need to set up gut: | ||
Thereafter you need to configure gut: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
sh gut init | ||
# NOTE: more documentation to come! | ||
gut init -r $HOME/langtech -o giellalt -u -t <YOUR-GITHUB-TOKEN> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
While waiting: In order to use _gut_, have a lok at [the gut usage page](https://github.com/divvun/gut/blob/main/USAGE.md). | ||
where: | ||
|
||
- `-r $HOME/langtech` specifies the root folder for `gut` - within it there will be one folder pr GibHub organisation (`giellalt` for <https://github.com/giellalt>), and within that folder all repositories from that organisation will reside; | ||
- `-o giellalt` specifies the default GitHub organisation, so you don't have to do it for every `gut` command | ||
- `-u` specifies that you want to use `https` instead of `ssh` for every interaction with GitHub (if that is what you want) | ||
- `-t <YOUR-GITHUB-TOKEN>` tells `gut` your GitHub access credentials - make sure you create a [GitHub Personal Access Token](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens) with the proper rights. Replace `<YOUR-GITHUB-TOKEN>` with the actual token. | ||
|
||
In order to use `gut`, have a look at [the gut usage page](https://github.com/divvun/gut/blob/main/USAGE.md). | ||
|
||
The core functionality is a limited set of `git` commands, with the addition of a `--regex` option. Use the regex to write a pattern to match against repository names. Repository names matching the regex are the ones on which the `git` command will be applied. | ||
|
||
Commonly used commands are: | ||
|
||
- clone | ||
- pull | ||
- push | ||
- commit (with implicit add, so be careful) | ||
|
||
There are many more commands, see the help text for more info. |
