forcegit

A command-line tool to sync .git directories to remote machines via SSH.

Installation

cargo install --path .

Usage

Configure a directory

Run forcegit in a project directory to configure its remote:

cd myproject
forcegit
# Enter remote [user@]host:path: user@server:/home/user/myproject
