Keep the hard rules from CLAUDE.md (stdlib only, single-file +scripts, single-writer repo.desc, idempotent, no em dashes, work on master). + +## 1. delete repo + +`gitctl repo delete <name>` - remove a repo from all three places it lives. + +Touches three writers, so it is the inverse of `repo create`: +- gitolite.conf stanza -> client edits the admin clone, pushes (needs the SSH + key / card, like create). +- cgit block in /etc/cgitrc -> new helper verb, the inverse of + `insert_repo_block`: find the repo's `repo.url=` line and delete its block up + to the next `repo.url=`, `section=`, banner, or EOF. Back up first + (write_cgitrc_lines already does). Run sync after. +- the bare repo on disk -> gitolite does NOT delete it when the stanza goes + away. The helper must `rm -rf REPO_BASE/<name>.git` (validate_url first; + guard against empty/`..` - validate_url already does, but double check the + final path is under REPO_BASE before rm). + +Design notes: +- DESTRUCTIVE. Always confirm, show what will be removed. The `-y` flag from + item 3 must NOT bypass the delete confirmation (or gate it behind a separate, + louder opt-in). Deleting data is not the same as auto-confirming an additive + conf diff. +- Idempotent-ish: if the repo is already gone from a given place, skip that + step and report, do not error. +- No undo. The cgitrc backup covers the cgit block; the bare repo is gone for + good once rm runs. Consider moving to a trash dir instead of rm -rf, or at + least refusing if the repo has refs unless `--force`. +- Order: remove cgit block + bare repo via helper first (reversible-ish), then + the gitolite stanza push? Or stanza first? Decide and document - partial + failure (push fails after rm) should leave a clear, resumable state like + create does. + +## 2. list repos + +`gitctl repo list` - show repos known to the server, ideally with their section. + +- New helper verb `list-repos`: parse /etc/cgitrc for `repo.url=` lines and the + preceding `section=` (reuse `find_repo_section` / the section-tracking loop). + Print `<section>\t<url>` or similar. +- Cheap, read-only, no confirmation. Good first item - unblocks better bash + completion (complete repo names for `desc` / `delete` / `add-remote`) and + gives `delete` something to validate against. +- Alternative source: gitolite (`ssh git_push info` lists repos) but cgitrc is + the helper's own domain and already parsed; prefer it. + +## 3. `-y` / `--yes` flag on `repo create` + +Let an agent drive `repo create` without the interactive y/N, so the only human +step left is supplying the SSH-key password / smartcard PIN for the push. + +- Add `--yes` (`-y`) to `repo create`; when set, skip the `_confirm` prompt and + proceed to commit + push. +- IMPORTANT: `-y` does NOT remove the need for a human at the SSH key. The + phase-1 `git push` to gitolite-admin still requires the key's password or the + card touch/PIN, which an agent cannot supply. `-y` removes only the y/N + diff-confirmation; the push auth is still interactive. Document this clearly + so nobody expects fully unattended creation. +- Still print the diff before pushing even with `-y` (visibility), just do not + block on it. +- Consider whether `-y` should also auto-create a missing section (it already + does that without asking) - keep behavior consistent. + +## Cross-cutting + +- Bash completion: once `repo list` exists, complete repo names for `desc`, + `delete`, `add-remote` (like `--section` is completed today). One ssh call, + only when completing a repo-name argument. +- Skill: update both SKILL.md files (repo skills/gitctl + ~/.claude) to mention + delete (and its destructive, confirm-always nature) and `-y`'s real limit. +- Tests: each new helper verb gets self-test coverage (cgit block removal is the + risky one - mirror the insert tests: first/middle/last/missing). |
