Overview

This directory contains some git tools used by RIOT's build system

git-cache

Simple git caching script, from https://github.com/kaspar030/git-cache If git-cache is unconfigured, the script pulls from the given remote location.

In order to set up the cache, do:

• install the git-cache binary into path. This will make the script available as "git cache ...". Alternatively, directly execute it.
• run "git cache init", which initializes a git cache in ${HOME}/.gitcache. The used path can be overridden using the "GIT_CACHE_DIR" environment variable. The cache repository will be used to cache multiple remote repositories.
• add a repository to the cache: "git cache add <URL>
• whenever needed (at least once after adding a repository), run "git cache update"

If the GIT_CACHE_AUTOADD environment variable is set to "1", a "git cache clone" will add the repository to the cache (and immediately update) if the url is not yet in the cache.
