You need a license
usage should just be help (avoid extra step)
connect does not exist (see add and cmd list)
You can git clone <REPO> <DEST FOLDER>, no need to cd
maybeCreateDir is not used each time, there are some mkdir
"changes" is not a helpfull commit message. Accept an optional argument string and {MESSAGE:=change}
Accept a different repo path
set -euxo pipefail at the start of the script if you want to exit at any error. Some sort of bash strict mode
shellcheck does not like iterating over ls's output

I'm too lazy to open issues/PR for all that, and I still need to learn stow. Hopfully this might help me ? (I don't really need help with git that this sçript look to abstract too much for me.)

oh hey.. thx for the input... just did some refactoring... never realized there was also a git -C workdir <cmd> since I never use it.

Apparently stow -t exist too.

[–] ad_on_is@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

yes ... I fixed that too, using -t and -d now.
