add new command to easily rename a git-repository by cedi · Pull Request #1404 · SierraSoftworks/git-tool

cedi · 2025-03-21T23:29:04Z

this PR adds the functionality to rename git repositories and automatically change the upstream URL.

For example, given a repository layout of

~/
└ src/
  └ gh/
    └ SierraSoftworks/
      └ git-tool (origin git@github.com:SierraSoftworks/git-tool.git)

running

gt mv gh:SierraSoftworks/git-tool gh:SierraSoftworks/gt

will result in

~/
└ src/
  └ gh/
    └ SierraSoftworks/
      └ gt (origin git@github.com:SierraSoftworks/gt.git)

However, if you wish to only update the repository locally, you can specify --no-update-remote:

gt mv gh:SierraSoftworks/git-tool gh:SierraSoftworks/gt

will result in

~/
└ src/
  └ gh/
    └ SierraSoftworks/
      └ gt (origin git@github.com:SierraSoftworks/git-tool.git)

leaving the origin URL in tact

This looks like a really neat addition - up until now I've generally done a mv <repo> && cd <repo> && gt fix but this is much cleaner and (especially if we integrate it with the GitHub API) would save me a lot of time organizing things.

One major downside: it's going to contribute to naming indecision and result in me changing repo names far more regularly 😂 (a nice problem to have).

+    fn app(&self) -> clap::Command {
+        clap::Command::new(self.name())
+            .about("renames a repository on your local machine")
+            .long_about("This command will rename the specified repository on your local machine. It requires that the repository name be provided in fully-qualified form.")


(Optional) I think it would be really cool to have this command tie into the online::service::github stuff to enable renaming of GitHub repositories automatically.

That'd likely need a new task::RenameRemote to mirror the existing task::CreateRemote and we probably want to add a config flag + a command line argument to control the behaviour if we do so.

If we did build that, I suspect we'd need to be pretty clever as well about determining a few things:

Are both repos part of the same service?

Are both repos part of the same namespace? (If so, rename the repo)

Are both repos part of different namespaces? (If so, transfer the repo)

The cool part is that if we built that on the existing online::services::* machinery, it would be pretty straightforward to extend it to support other services in future - and it'll automatically support GitHub Enterprise too.
