Ask HN: How to organize Git repos?
I have about 100 git repos in my GitHub account. It's become pretty hard to keep them organized, and separate the ones that I actually use.
I found a tool called Astral to organize repos you've starred, but nothing for your own repo.
How do people keep Git repos organized?
- _frkl 9y agoProbably too crude a solution for you, but when I had that problem, I created a 2nd Github account (you can also use a Github organization), and made that account the owner of the 'archived' repos.
- nkkollaw 9y agoI mean--ingenious, but I was looking for something more advanced :-)
- matt_the_bass 9y agoCan you describe what you envision?
- nkkollaw 9y agoSure! Pretty much the same as Astral, but for your own repos--not just starred ones. In short, I'd like to login with my GitHub account, the thing fetches all my repos, and I can group them and tag them. I might fork Astral as see if I can make it show my own repos inatead of starred ones...
- matt_the_bass 9y agoSo if I understand you correctly, you’re looking for a web app front end to organizing your github repos and ideally hosted on GitHub. Is that correct?
- meagher 9y agoDid something similar. My GitHub account: https://github.com/tmm https://github.com/tmm A deprecated projects GitHub org: https://github.com/tmm-archive https://github.com/tmm-archive
- frou_dh 9y agoDo all the organisation client-side on your own computer(s) by building up some fine-grained config files for `myrepos` https://myrepos.branchable.com/ https://myrepos.branchable.com/ https://linux.die.net/man/1/mr https://linux.die.net/man/1/mr
