Program which checkouts all previous versions of a Git repository and stores them in a temp directory

This program is now depricated as a proof of concept. Please go to the new home of git-all-python here.

This program is meant to take a git repository, go through EVERY commit on EVERY branch in that repository and create a git repository initalized at that specific commit.

As you can imagine, this program results in a considerable amount of computer storage being used up.

This project is based off of the work of:

• @gkthiruvathukal and their git-all-scala
• @samw430 and their git-all-scala

1. You must have Python 3.9.x installed
2. You must have pip installed for your version of Python 3.9.x

1. In your terminal, run python -m pip install progress or python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
2. In your terminal, run python git-all-python.py -u GIT_REPO_URL -s OUTPUT where GIT_REPO_URL is the repository that you are cloning to your local machine and OUTPUT is the destination folder of all the exploded commits.

• -u / --url: This argument is where the url for the desired git repo is provided. If not provided then the program will fail
• -s / --src: This argument should be the name of the repo you wish to analyze. It should also include all folders after root that specify the desired location of the folder. It must match the name on GitHub otherwise the program will fail
• --start: This argument allows for the downloading of hash codes to start with a hash code later than the first one. If left unspecified it is automatically set to 1 and every hash code is included
• --stride: This argument allows you to skip every n hash codes. When used in conjunction with the start command it allows for the downloading of each hash to be spread more easily between compute nodes

1. Implement --start arguement
2. Implement --stride arguement
3. Dockerize project
