git.repo-manager

Manages a local repository cache at temp/repo-cache/. Use these patterns for repo lifecycle operations.

Ensure a repo is available and up to date

1. Check whether the repo directory already exists:

   test -d temp/repo-cache/<name> && echo "exists" || echo "missing"
   

2. If missing — clone a shallow copy of the default branch:

   git clone --depth 1 <repo-url> temp/repo-cache/<name> --quiet
   

3. If already present — pull the latest commits:

   cd temp/repo-cache/<name> && git pull --quiet
   

Clean up a repo

Remove a cached repo when it's no longer needed or when explicitly asked:

rm -rf temp/repo-cache/<name>

Rules

• Always use temp/repo-cache/ as the cache root — never clone repos to other locations
• Always clone with --depth 1 (shallow) to minimize disk usage and clone time
• Never clone more than the single repo you need for the current task
