Keep your local git clones forever fresh! ヽ(•‿•)ノ✨

repo-tender keeps your local git clones evergreen — clean, on their default branch, and recently fetched — so anything that reads them gets a current, trustworthy copy from your local disk instead of the network. A periodic launchd sweep does the tending; nothing downstream ever waits on a remote fetch again. 🪞⚡

gem install repo-tender

macOS-only (it schedules via launchd) and GitHub-only (it lists orgs via gh). Ruby 4.0.5+, git 2.54+, and an authenticated gh for org tracking — see Requirements.

repo-tender repo add github.com/ruby/ruby   # track a repo
repo-tender sync                            # clone it evergreen-style locally
repo-tender status                          # check its health

That's the whole loop — or take the 5-minute tutorial.

repo-tender's docs follow the Diátaxis quartet — each kind of doc answers a different question:
