• Cydia Repo Update CLI

  ---

  ​ I decided to make a script for updating my Cydia repo in a less cumbersome way. It used to be that I would have to update my bash script every time I wanted to add/update a package on my repo. This got to be tedious and all around unnecessary. In addition to my workflow obviously needing some improvement, I also saw it as an opportunity to brush up on my near non-existent bash skills.

  Some goals I had in mind while making this:

  • No need to update my bash script.
  • Optionally clean the package directory.
  • Commit the changes when complete.
  • Pass project directory as a parameter
  • Display errors and help messages

  Usage:

  Usage: ./update-repo.sh -m --commit-message
  
    -m, --commit-message      The git commit message
    -g, --git-commit          If passed, then commit changes
    -p, --project-directory   the theos project directory
    -c, --clean-debs          remove old debs i.e. no downgrade option
    -h, -help                 display this help message
  
  Example: ./update-repo.sh --commit-message 'rebuild packages' --project-directory my_tweak

  Code:

  Hopefully others will find this as useful as I have.
