vcs2l – fork of vcstool

vcs2l is a fork of vcstool which is a version control system (VCS) tool, designed to make working with multiple repositories easier.

The fork is created to continue the development of vcstool, as it is no longer actively maintained.

The commands provided by vcs2l have the same naming structure as the original fork, so it can be used as a drop-in replacement. Therefore, the repository is renamed to vcs2l while maintaining the command names to vcstool to ensure compatibility with existing scripts and workflows.

The biggest differences between the two are:

• vcstool doesn’t use any state beside the repository working copies available in the filesystem.
  The file format of vcstool export uses the relative paths of the repositories as keys in YAML which avoids collisions by design.
• vcstool has significantly fewer lines of code than vcstools including the command line tools built on top.

This is free and open source software.
