Viscose wants to provide a simple interface to different version control or source code management systems. I wrote this to make it easier to manage a bunch of source code repositories from projects I try to follow. It's possible and even probable that you have no use for it.

Installation

There's a single point of entry for the funcionality, which is bin/vcs. If you want to copy or link it to your path or if you'd rather use it from where it is, it's up to you.

In that script there are 2 variables that need to be set, though. Find the lines,

VCS_BIN_DIR=~/work/vcs/bin
VCS_PLUGIN_PATH=~/work/vcs/plugins

And change the paths to match your installation. That's it!

Usage

Usually,

$ vcs <command> <arguments>...

assuming vcs is in your path.

Commands

• test Identify VCS for the specified directory, or current if none specified. This test should not use native commands, so you don't need to have all of them installed.

• update synchronize working copy to latest upstream version
