6 webcheckout - check out repositories referenced on a web page
7
9 webcheckout [options] url [destdir]
10
12 webcheckout downloads an url and parses it, looking for version control
13 repositories referenced by the page. It checks out each repository into
14 a subdirectory of the current directory, using whatever VCS program is
15 appropriate for that repository (git, svn, etc).
16
17 The information about the repositories is embedded in the web page
18 using the rel=vcs-* microformat, which is documented at
19 <https://joeyh.name/rfc/rel-vcs/>.
20
21 If the optional destdir parameter is specified, VCS programs will be
22 asked to check out repositories into that directory. If there are
23 multiple repositories to check out, each will be checked out into a
24 separate subdirectory of the destdir.
25
27 -a, --auth
28 Prefer authenticated repositories. By default, webcheckout will use
29 anonymous repositories when possible. If you have an account that
30 allows you to use authenticated repositories, you might want to use
31 this option.
32
33 --no-act, -n
34 Do not actually check anything out, just print out the commands
35 that would be run to check out the repositories.
36
37 --quiet, -q
38 Quiet mode. Do not print out the commands being run. (The VCS
39 commands may still be noisy however.)
40
42 To use this program you will need lots of VCS programs installed,
43 obviously. It also depends on the perl LWP and HTML::Parser modules.
44
45 If the perl URI module is installed, webcheckout can heuristically
46 guess what you mean by partial URLs, such as "kitenet.net/~joey"'
