Update pull request and issues from cli

[braineo]

Use case: As a user needs to touch considerable amount of repos but not necessary works on all the repos everyday. Sometime after a week, there are quite many updates on some repos I'd need to pull all the updates.

I'm thinking creating a cron job to pull the update for all the repos I am interested in. Is there a recommended way to do so?

First try if the improved N f n satisfies your needs.

Hi @tarsius thanks for helping out! Unfortunately that's a self-hosted gitlab instance that notification is not supported.

This snippet might help:

(pcase-dolist (`(,name ,id)
               (forge-sql [:select [name id] :from repository
                           :where (= class 'gitlab)
                           :order-by [(asc owner) (asc name)]]))
  (when-let ((repo (forge-get-repository :id id))
             ((forge-get-repository repo :tracked?)))
    (forge-pull repo)))

;;; update_forge_repos.el ---                               -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

(let ((default-directory  "~/.emacs.d/elpa/"))
  (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))

(require 'forge)

(setq forge-database-file "~/.emacs.d/var/forge/database.sqlite")

(pcase-dolist (`(,name ,id)
               (forge-sql [:select [name id] :from repository
                           :where (= class 'gitlab)
                           :order-by [(asc owner) (asc name)]]))
  (when-let ((repo (forge-get-repository :id id))
             ((forge-get-repository repo :tracked?)))
    (forge--pull repo)))
