SVP(1)

NAME
svp - create and manage changes to VCS repositories

SYNOPSIS
svp [-h] [--version] {run,hosters,login,proposals} ...

DESCRIPTION
Silver-Platter makes it possible to contribute automatable changes to source code in a version control system. It automatically creates a local checkout of a remote repository, make user-specified changes, publish those changes on the remote hosting site and then creates a pull request. In addition to that, it can also perform basic maintenance on branches that have been proposed for merging - such as restarting them if they have conflicts due to upstream changes.

  COMMAND OVERVIEW

svp run [--refresh] [--label LABEL] [--name NAME] [--mode {push,attempt-push,propose}] [--commit-pending {auto,yes,no}] [--dry-run] url script
    Make a change by running a script. URL should be the URL of a repository to make changes to. Script will be run in a checkout of the URL, with the opportunity to make changes. Depending on the specified mode, the changes will be committed and pushed back to the repository at the original URL or proposed as a change to the repository at the original URL. svp will exit 0 if no changes have been made, 1 if at least one repository has been changed and 2 in case of trouble.

svp hosters
    Display known hosting sites.

svp login BASE-URL
    Log into a new hosting site.

svp proposals [--status {open,merged,closed}]
    Print URLs of all proposals of a specified status that are owned by the current user.

  optional arguments:
