Drupal Git Cache creates a cache of git objects that can be used when checking out projects from git.drupal.org. Objects already in the cache do not need to be downloaded again allowing for speedier clones.
For example, if Drupal is already in the cache (or most of the commits) you can use the reference option like:
git clone --reference ~/gitcaches/drupal git://git.drupal.org/project/drupal.git
All the objects that are in the reference will be fetched from there rather than downloaded. Fetching locally is much faster than downloading them.
Script Usage
There are three options within this script being to initialize repos initially, add new repos, and update all repos.
Initialize:
./drupal-git-cache.sh init
Add a new repo:
./drupal-git-cache.sh add project_name
Update repos:
./drupal-git-cache.sh update
Configure Scripts
Before you use the scripts there are a couple of options to configure. Open up drupal-git-cache.sh and set the following variables:
- REPO: The location to keep the git cache.
- PROJECTS: The initial list of projects to download and cache.
