NAME

       webcheckout - check out repositories referenced on a web page

SYNOPSIS

       webcheckout [options] url [destdir]

DESCRIPTION

       webcheckout downloads an url and parses it, looking for version control repositories
       referenced by the page. It checks out each repository into a subdirectory of the current
       directory, using whatever VCS program is appropriate for that repository (git, svn, etc).

       The information about the repositories is embedded in the web page using the rel=vcs-*
       microformat, which is documented at <http://kitenet.net/~joey/rfc/rel-vcs/>.

       If the optional destdir parameter is specified, VCS programs will be asked to check out
       repositories into that directory. If there are multiple repositories to check out, each
       will be checked out into a separate subdirectory of the destdir.

OPTIONS

       -a, --auth
           Prefer authenticated repositories. By default, webcheckout will use anonymous
           repositories when possible. If you have an account that allows you to use
           authenticated repositories, you might want to use this option.

       --no-act, -n
           Do not actually check anything out, just print out the commands that would be run to
           check out the repositories.

       --quiet, -q
           Quiet mode. Do not print out the commands being run. (The VCS commands may still be
           noisy however.)

PREREQUISITES

       To use this program you will need lots of VCS programs installed, obviously. It also
       depends on the perl LWP and HTML::Parser modules.

       If the perl URI module is installed, webcheckout can heuristically guess what you mean by
       partial URLs, such as "kitenet.net/~joey"'
