GCLI-FORKS(1) General Commands Manual GCLI-FORKS(1) NAME gcli forks -- Manage repository forks in git forges SYNOPSIS gcli forks [forge-path] [-n n] [-y] [-s] [-o owner -r repo] actions... gcli forks [forge-path] create [-o owner -r repo] [-i target-owner] DESCRIPTION Use gcli forks to manage forks of other repositories in various git(1) forges such as GitHub, GitLab and Gitea. OPTIONS -o, --owner owner Operate on the repository of the given owner. This option can only be used in combination with -r. -r, --repo repo Operate on the given repository. This option can only be used in combination with -o. -y, --yes Do not ask for confirmation. Assume yes. -s, --sorted Reverse the output such that most recent items appear at the bot- tom. -i, --into target-owner When forking a repository, this is the organisation or user the repository is forked into. -n, --count n Fetch at least n forks. Setting n to -1 will fetch all forks. De- fault: 30. Note that on repositories with many forks fetching all forks can take a considerable amount of time and may result in rate limiting by the respective API. ACTIONS actions... may be one or more of the following: delete Delete the fork. You will be asked for confirmation unless you set -y. The following flags can be specified: -r, --repo See "OPTIONS" -o, --owner See "OPTIONS" -y, --yes Do not ask for confirmation before deleting the fork. See "OPTIONS". EXAMPLES Clone vim/vim and fork it into your account: $ git clone git@github.com:vim/vim $ cd vim $ gcli forks create --into <myaccount> This will ask you if you want to add a remote to your fork. In case you ac- cept the offer, the origin remote will be renamed to upstream and a new origin will be pointed at your newly created fork. You may also want to setup a .gcli file at the same time: $ printf -- "pr.upstream=vim/vim\npr.base=trunk\n" >> .gcli Delete your fork of the current repository without confirmation: $ gcli forks -y delete List forks of herrhotzenplotz/gcli on GitHub using the forge path short- hand: $ gcli forks gh:herrhotzenplotz/gcli SEE ALSO git(1), gcli(1) AUTHORS Nico Sonack aka. herrhotzenplotz <nsonack@herrhotzenplotz.de> and contribu- tors.
