基于git的仓库管理工具repo的简单介绍

一、repo介绍

repo命令行工具，是一个python脚本，对git部分命令进行封装，简化了对多个git版本库的管理，通过配置manifests配置文件，可以将很多个git仓库有效的进行组织管理。最开始是用在Android源码的管理上，目前被广泛使用。

二、repo使用

初始化命令：
repo init -u [<OPTIONS>]

-u: 指定连接到的manifest仓库地址
-m: 选择仓库中某个manifest文件，如果没有设置，就使用default.xml
-b: 选择一个maniest仓库中的一个特殊的分支或修正版本

例如：

mkdir repo_test
cd repo_test
repo init -u http://github.com/repotest.git -b testrepo

其中repotest.git 仓库是一系列需要拉取的git仓库配置default.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  

<manifest>  
    <remote name="origin" fetch="http://github.xxx.com" />
    <default revision="master" remote="origin" />
    <project name="myproject/repotest"  revision="master" path="test" />
    <project name="myproject/repotest1"  revision="master" path="test1" />
    <project name="myproject/repotest2"  revision="master" path="test2" />
</manifest>

执行完这个命令后，会在当前文件夹创建一个 .repo 文件夹，然后才能执行一系列repo的命令。

下代码命令：
repo sync -c -j4

-j ： 多任务，一般8核心可以开到16任务,过多会起反作用
-c： 只下载当前分支代码
-d： 让工程回退到manifest指定的版本
-f： 如果某个工程同步失败，继续同步

三、repo常用命令

在初始化的带.repo目录的文件夹下执行repo help，显示常用命令如下：
