💖 get-branches — the girlies' guide to yoinking every branch 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to get-branches, part of the General Commands Manual squad. she's a little script with big main character energy, and she's about to pull down every single branch related to a Launchpad team or person. no cap. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

get-branches — downloads all branches related to a Launchpad team or person 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lowkey here's how you talk to her:

get-branches [-d directory] [-o branch|checkout] -t team
get-branches team
get-branches --help

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the way this works is get-branches hits the LP API (that's the Launchpad API, iykyk), gets the whole list of branches for a person or a team, and then calls Bazaar to download all of them. all of them. every last one. she does not do half measures. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the command line options list, and I'm gonna hold your hand through each one:

  • -h, --help — shows you a help message and then dips out. exit stage left. 🚪
  • -d, --directory — want your branches somewhere other than the current directory? iconic. this sends them to a different directory instead. 🎀
  • -o, --operation — picks which Bazaar operation gets used when downloading the branches; it can be either branch or checkout. those are literally the only two vibes allowed. 🌈
  • -t, --team — tells her which Launchpad team/person to download branches from. and listen. this one is required. not optional. not "if you feel like it". required. periodt. 👑
ngl, if you forget -t, that's a vibe check you're gonna fail. 😭
