vcsh

vcsh is a command line tool that allows you to manage multiple version control repositories in a single repository. It stands for "Version Control System Hierarchy" and is designed to provide a lightweight and flexible approach to managing your version control repositories. vcsh operates by creating a separate Git repository for each individual component or project you want to version control. Instead of having one monolithic repository for all projects, vcsh segregates them into separate repositories within its own repository. vcsh supports various version control systems like Git, Mercurial, Subversion, and Bazaar. It is primarily targeted towards advanced Linux users who prefer the command line interface and desire a simple, yet powerful version control solution. vcsh is highly customizable and can be easily extended to fit your specific needs. It provides some additional functionality, such as automatically keeping track of file permissions, ignoring certain files, and isolating VCS-specific configurations. Furthermore, vcsh integrates well with other tools, like zsh, Emacs, and much more. Overall, vcsh simplifies the complexity of managing multiple version control repositories by offering a centralized and flexible approach.
