checkout_code

Tool to checkout a specific commit to a unique location

installation

pip install .

usage

checkout_code 
  --repository /path/to/git/repo
  --checkout-dir /path/to/version/location 
  -c commit_hash 
  --use-prefix

--use-prefix prefixes the directories in checkout_dir with the repository name

To get the final path use an additional --get-path, i.e.

checkout_code 
  --repository /path/to/git/repo
  --checkout-dir /path/to/version/location 
  -c commit_hash 
  --use-prefix
  --get-path

this will only print the path but not checkout the code. Its intendented to be used in a variable.

example usage in scripts

source env/bin/activate
COMMIT="b59616685000ddb5583186bcb7fd4b3e3d481f19"
checkout_code --repository ~/src/sockeye --checkout-dir ~/work/sockeye/ -c $COMMIT --use-prefix
path=$(checkout_code --repository ~/src/sockeye --checkout-dir ~/work/sockeye/ -c $COMMIT --use-prefix --get-path)
export PYTHONPATH="$path:$PYTHONPATH"
