Git-Rusty

Learning Example of Git and GitHub operations in Rust.

• Clone a Git repo from GitHub
• Add a new mirror to the cloned repo
• Create an empty private repo on GitHub
• Push the cloned repo to the new repo
• Get a repo from GitHub - returns the status code

Caveats

This code is working as learning examples, use at own risk.

Several Assumptions are Made

• The directory where the input repo is cloned is empty - will panic otherwise
• A Git Credential Helper is set with cached credentials for your Git remote
• This code can find the default Git config to know about your configured Credential Helper
• A GitHub Personal Access Token has been configured with repo create permissions, and is provided to this code
• See command line help for details

TODOs

• Clean up/fix unwraps in a couple of functions, proper error handling
• DONE - Get the newly created Repo on GitHub isn't working
• DONE - Check path passed in for CLI option output-path and validate empty
• DONE - For Git push, accommodate non default refspecs

Usage

Note: A GitHub Personal Access Token can be set as an environment variable (GIT_HUB_PAT).
