Anyone want this feature like google repo?

For Github or Gerrit?

west supports extension, you could write one:
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/2.7.0/guides/west/extensions.html

BTW https://docs.zephyrproject.org/1.14.1/guides/west/why.html

Existing tools were considered during west’s initial design and development. None were found suitable for Zephyr’s requirements. In particular, these were examined in detail:
Google repo

• Assumes Gerrit is used for code review
• ...

I think both need.  or other git server.  because when I work on mulit project  I need smart push my projects.   when the manifest file updated, the command west update only downloads project code.I can write  extensions,   I tried before.  but I think it maybe have a good design.

The problem with 'west upload' is that west would need to know how each individual git server accepts uploads. I think this is impossible to do in general, though I'd be interested to see a design for it if you have one.

As for 'sync', I guess that would mean pulling the latest changes from the manifest repository's remote and then running west update, all in one step? How would that work?

• how would you configure the remote manifest repository? .west/config? the manifest repository's .git/config? somewhere else?
• should it be possible to configure the remote manifest repository and branch to pull from on a per-local-branch basis, or just have one global thing to pull from?
• what about workspaces initialized with west init -l?
