Add `repo.reprojectcmd`, the checkout counterpart to `repo.fetchcmd`.
When set, `repo sync` runs this command instead of Git to materialize a
project's index and worktree at the target tree, while `repo` handles
ref updates directly via `git update-ref`.
This replaces Git's tree materialization steps: detaching HEAD,
fast-forwarding, and hard-resetting. Rebasing is not delegated, and the
command is skipped if HEAD is already at the target, if HEAD is ahead of
the target during fast-forward, or for MetaProjects.
The command runs in a subshell with project environment variables (such
as `REPO_TREV`). Before running, `repo` ensures no operation is in
progress and no staged changes exist. Worktree collision detection is
delegated to the command (preserving benign unstaged/untracked edits).
Afterward, `repo` verifies that HEAD was untouched and that the index
matches the target tree.
Like `repo.fetchcmd`, this requires `repo.uselocalgitdirs`. Nested
projects and submodules are unsupported; `repo sync` fails if the
manifest contains any while `repo.reprojectcmd` is enabled.
Verified end-to-end with repo init using local-gitdirs, repo.fetchcmd,
and repo.reprojectcmd ('git -C $REPO_PATH read-tree -m -u $REPO_TREV'):
* Verified detached HEAD checkout and correct reflog generation across
projects.
* Verified benign unstaged edits and untracked files survive checkout.
* Verified conflicting untracked files fail with exit 128 without
clobbering worktree.
* Verified staged changes fail upfront before reprojectcmd is executed.

repo
Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

Contact
Please use the repo-discuss mailing list or issue tracker for questions.
You can file a new bug report under the "repo" component.
Please do not e-mail individual developers for support. They do not have the bandwidth for it, and often times questions have already been asked on repo-discuss or bugs posted to the issue tracker. So please search those sites first.
Install
Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.
# Debian/Ubuntu.
$ sudo apt-get install repo
# Gentoo.
$ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo
You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.
$ mkdir -p ~/.bin
$ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
$ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo
Shell Completion
Repo includes completion scripts for Bash and Zsh.
Bash
To enable completion in Bash, source completion.bash in your ~/.bashrc:
source /path/to/git-repo/completion.bash
Zsh
To enable completion in Zsh, you can either:
-
Copy or symlink
completion.zshto a file named_repoin a directory in your$fpath:mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion # You can copy the file: cp /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_repo # Or symlink it: ln -s /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_repoThen add that directory to your
fpathin~/.zshrcbeforecompinit:fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath) autoload -Uz compinit compinit -
Or source the file directly and call
compdefin your~/.zshrc:source /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh compdef _repo repo
