So I have a tendency to add a bunch of new files to a project before actually doing a commit in Subversion. It’s usually not an issue, I go through an add each new file and then finally do my commit. Welp, I’m sick of it, so I wrote a little Bash script to help automate the process slightly. The script takes the directory and loops through detecting any files marked as “?”. From there, it will prompt if you would like to add it or not. Easy as that. Unfortunately, I wrote it after I did a large commit earlier this evening. Next time, I suppose.
#!/bin/bash
# Assists in adding files currently not in a Subversion repository by
# automatically prompting you as to whether or not you want to add each
# file not currently in the repository

if [ -z "$1" ] then
echo "Usage: svn-add.sh /path/to/svn/repository"
exit
else
svn_status=`svn status $1`
fi
add_file=false
for i in $svn_status do
if [ $add_file == true ] then
echo -n "Add $i? [Y/n]: "
read confirm
if [ -z $confirm ] || [ $confirm == "Y" ] || [ $confirm == "y" ] then
svn add $i &> /dev/null
echo "Added $i"
fi
fi
if [ $i == "?" ] then
add_file=true
else
add_file=false
fi
done
