Show HN: vcspull – synchronize your repos

Protip: If you have a live/animated demo/video as the first thing in your README, then you should really, really explain what happens and what is done.

Here is an example (which is perhaps a bit too verbose/long): https://asciinema.org/a/28691?autoplay=1&speed=2

None of your documents indicate exactly what this does. It looks like it is a way to pull from multiple version controls systems with a single command, as well as do queries of some type.

Author here, I updated the project's README based on the feedback in this thread. Thanks for that.

So a bit about the project and how I use it, indeed, it is similar to http://myrepos.branchable.com/. I use it to keep a list of repos I use across all my environments so I can:

1. clone projects without having to make directories and having to find the repo URL

2. update them without having to cd into them

3. having them available consistently throughout any machine I have at the same location

It would be nice to have some discussion of how vcspull compares to mr (http://myrepos.branchable.com/)

That's a lot of text + code for a rather trivial task.

i'm not sure what this does, but i've been a happy user of https://github.com/msiemens/PyGitUp for the last couple of years. from the looks of it it does less, but as we all know, in unix, less is more.
