Idea

This tool was created to be used in specific environment. We are using it for managing multiple microservice project that are sitting next to each other in one parent project.

example: Project name = Simple Project (short sp)

sp                      <parent project>
├── auth                <microservice>
├── node-common         <shared library>
├── type-definitions    <shared typescript definitions>
├── .gitignore          <parent project is ignoring all microservice projects>
├── .msh
├── docker-compose.yml

First feature added was the git bach commands and it was used to easily and quickly clone all repositories and perform functions like git status and git pull. Because of this we decided to have certain naming convention.

We chose to have a prefix for every project which takes first letters of the projects name Simple Project => sp, so for authentication microservice we get sp-auth. But when we clone it strip the prefix.

Configuration

configuration is stored in the file .msh located at the root of your project. You can generate init config file by calling msh -i.

PROJECTS=["auth","node-common","type-definitions",..]
GIT_TEAM=TeamName
GIT_PROJECT_PREFIX=tn

LOG_LEVEL=error

CMD_GIT_ENABLED=true
CMD_NPM_ENABLED=true

Also you can use .msh-user (next to the .msh) at your root dir to store user override values like

[email protected]
GIT_PASSWORD=*****
