NAME
       GROK-PULL - Clone or update local git repositories


SYNOPSIS
          grok-pull -c /path/to/repos.conf


DESCRIPTION
       This  utility  runs from a cronjob and downloads the latest manifest from the grokmirror master. If there
       are new repositories or changes in the existing repositories, grok-pull will perform  the  necessary  git
       commands to clone or fetch the required data from the master.

       At  the end of its run, grok-pull will generate its own manifest file, which can then be used for further
       mirroring.


OPTIONS
          --version
                 show program's version number and exit

          -h, --help
                 show this help message and exit

          -v, --verbose
                 Be verbose and tell us what you are doing

          -n, --no-mtime-check
                 Run without checking manifest mtime.

          -f, --force
                 Force full git update regardless of  last-modified  times.  Also  useful  when  repos.conf  has
                 changed.

          -p, --purge
                 Remove any git trees that are no longer in manifest.

          -y, --pretty
                 Pretty-print  the  generated manifest (sort repos and add indentation). This is much slower, so
                 should be used with caution on large collections.

          -r, --no-reuse-existing-repos
                 If any existing repositories are found on disk, do NOT set new remote origin  and  reuse,  just
                 skip them entirely

          -m, --verify-mirror
                 Do not perform any updates, just verify that mirror matches upstream manifest.

          -s SUBPATH, --verify-subpath=SUBPATH
                 Only verify a subpath (accepts shell globbing)

          -c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
                 Location of repos.conf


EXAMPLES
       Locate  repos.conf  and  modify  it  to  reflect  your  needs.  The default configuration file is heavily
       commented.

       Add  a  cronjob  to  run  as  frequently   as   you   like.   For   example,   add   the   following   to
       /etc/cron.d/grokmirror.cron:

          # Run grok-pull every minute as user "mirror"
          * * * * * mirror /usr/bin/grok-pull -p -c /etc/grokmirror/repos.conf

       Make  sure  the user "mirror" (or whichever user you specified) is able to write to the toplevel, log and
       lock locations specified in repos.conf.
