NAME

6       GROK-PULL - Clone or update local git repositories
7

SYNOPSIS

9          grok-pull -c /path/to/repos.conf
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This utility runs from a cronjob and downloads the latest manifest from
13       the grokmirror master. If there are new repositories or changes in  the
14       existing  repositories,  grok-pull  will perform the necessary git com‐
15       mands to clone or fetch the required data from the master.
16
17       At the end of its run, grok-pull will generate its own  manifest  file,
18       which can then be used for further mirroring.

OPTIONS

21          --version
22                 show program's version number and exit
23
24          -h, --help
25                 show this help message and exit
26
27          -v, --verbose
28                 Be verbose and tell us what you are doing
29
30          -n, --no-mtime-check
31                 Run without checking manifest mtime.
32
33          -f, --force
34                 Force full git update regardless of last-modified times. Also
35                 useful when repos.conf has changed.
36
37          -p, --purge
38                 Remove any git trees that are no longer in manifest.
39
40          -y, --pretty
41                 Pretty-print the  generated  manifest  (sort  repos  and  add
42                 indentation).  This  is  much  slower, so should be used with
43                 caution on large collections.
44
45          -r, --no-reuse-existing-repos
46                 If any existing repositories are found on disk,  do  NOT  set
47                 new remote origin and reuse, just skip them entirely
48
49          -m, --verify-mirror
50                 Do  not  perform any updates, just verify that mirror matches
51                 upstream manifest.
52
53          -s SUBPATH, --verify-subpath=SUBPATH
54                 Only verify a subpath (accepts shell globbing)
55
56          -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
57                 Location of repos.conf
58

EXAMPLES

60       Locate repos.conf and modify it to reflect your needs. The default con‐
61       figuration file is heavily commented.
62
63       Add  a  cronjob  to run as frequently as you like. For example, add the
64       following to /etc/cron.d/grokmirror.cron:
65
66          # Run grok-pull every minute as user "mirror"
67          * * * * * mirror /usr/bin/grok-pull -p -c /etc/grokmirror/repos.conf
68
69       Make sure the user "mirror" (or whichever user you specified)  is  able
70       to  write  to  the  toplevel,  log  and  lock  locations  specified  in
71       repos.conf.
