Installation

Prerequisites

• Rust 2024 edition and toolchain
• Git command-line tool

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/jwliles/monarch-rs.git
cd monarch-rs
cargo build --release

The compiled binary will be available at target/release/monarch.

Usage

monarch [OPTIONS] <OPERATION> <SOURCE_DIR> [TARGET_DIR]

Operations

• Clone: Clone repositories from source directory to target directory
• Pull: Pull latest changes for all repositories in source directory
• Push: Push local changes for all repositories in source directory
• Status: List all repositories and their status
• Run: Run arbitrary git command on all repositories
• Hook: Manage Git hooks across repositories

Options

• --verbose: Enable verbose logging
• --reverse: Reverse the direction of operations (e.g., clone from target to source)
• --filter: Filter repositories by name pattern

Examples

Clone all repositories from one directory to another:

monarch clone ~/projects ~/backup

With verbose output:

monarch --verbose clone ~/projects ~/backup

List all repositories and their status:

monarch status ~/projects

Run a git command on all repositories:

monarch run ~/projects -- branch -a

Hook Management

List hooks for all repositories:

monarch hook list ~/projects

Create a new hook across all repositories:

monarch hook create ~/projects --hook-type pre-commit --script-path ~/myhooks/pre-commit.sh

Install a sample hook across all repositories:

monarch hook install ~/projects --hook-type pre-commit

Remove a hook from all repositories:

monarch hook remove ~/projects --hook-type pre-commit
