autogit

Autogit is a Bash tool to automatically build, update or install Pacman applications from PKGBUILD's available on Github, Gitlab and AUR via configurable makepkg, devtools, or Manjaro chrootbuild commands. It can also create automatically repo names like core, extra, community and create/update a repo database file via repo-add. Additionally it clears each local repo with paccache to only keep the latest package version.

Basically if you want to avoid a "git clone" and the rest of the procedure each time a PKGBUILD has been updated and trust the source, then this tool might be for you. Here are some examples:

• Auto create your own local repositories, add them to /etc/pacman.conf and update with Pacman.
• Compile packages from different sources into one repository while building all in a clean "chroot", e.g. AUR, Gitlab, Github.
• Compile the same package from different branches into different repositories, or add a "-git" PKGBUILD for development on a different branch etc.
• Use "makepkg" to directly install packages after compilation.

Two different options are available to compare and update applications. In case of a "-git" package it checks for the latest commit to update and can either run once or in a loop with a timer setting.

More information on how to set it up is available in autogit.conf, examples are included.

Currently the AUR, 6 Github and 6 Gitlab sources are available to use. There is no limitation of packages for each source, which need to be added to the reponames folder source files.

In sum 13 different repos can be enabled/created and will be updated together.
