Git Capsules

Git Capsules is a small desktop application that can read your Git repositories and reproduce them on another machine with the same folder structure.

Stuck on building an application that has dependencies on multiple repos with predefined folder structure? Wants to bundle your git repositories and redeploy it on to another pc?

Git Capsules can help!

Features

It gives you the ability to select your Git Repos Folder and create a bash script based on the Repo [master origin] URL and commit Id. The Bash script can be run on any machine and will…

Recreate the same folder structure and clone repos (if they doesn’t exist)
Stash changes (if a repo exists and contains uncommitted changes)
Checkout a detached head at the designated Commit Id

Every bash script generated can be saved as JSON and recreated. Next time you need another bash script with the same repos but with different commit, just refresh and Export.
