Script to automate downloading and pushing RH icons to github

[mairin]

General model:

• When new icons are released internally, @mairin will receive an email notification.

• When receiving the email notification, @mairin will run a script locally on her machine that will:

  • Pull down the 5 zip files from the internal repo
  • Unzip them
  • Create a directory tree with a common parent folder for them
  • Add the needed .git / metadata to be able to push to the repo under RedHatOfficial.

• After running the script. @mairin should be able to do a git commit and git push to push to the new repo.

• [ ] Create above script

• [ ] Create repo for icons (current repo name is red-hat-icons; we could just call it iconset

Working on this now. I have a question @mairin

Will this git tree ever be "dirty"? In other words, do you ever work in the repo yourself? I don't want to accidentally add EVERYTHING in the repo if you have works-in-progress in there that you don't want auto-added/committed/pushed.

I'm trying to determine whether I need to take extra precautions to ensure that ONLY the new items are added and pushed, or whether we can just let Git figure it out.

[notklaatu]

The answer was that no, the state of the Git repo on the local machine will never be dirty.

Complete. https://github.com/notklaatu/getzipgit

Now we need to create a Git repo to push to.

Note to self: in gitexclude file, list __MACOSX because there are a bunch in the icon set.

Created http://github.com/RedHatOfficial/iconset

Sent RPM to Mairín for testing.

I'm closing this issue; any further issue with getzipgit should be filed against that tool and not this repo.

This is amazing, thanks @notklaatu! Giving it a test run now.

Reopening. Bash for webDAV seems unreliable, re-implementing in Python or something else.
