Goal

• Find files that were moved, renamed, updated, or deleted in the current repo and update all references to them in the other Git repos

Workflow

Find Changed Files

• Find all the files moved, renamed, updated, or deleted in the current repo using a command line:

  > invoke git_files --branch --only-print-files
  

• Print all the files that are moved, renamed, or deleted

  • Print the main functions changed

Search for References

• For each file <FILE>, look for all the references to <FILE> in the repos:

  • helper: the current repo
  • umd_classes: located at ~/src/umd_classes1
  • csfy: located at ~/src/csfy1
  • orange: located at ~/src/orange1
  • lemonade: located at ~/src/lemonade1

• You must:

  • Ignore searching in any Git sub repository of each repo (e.g., helpers_root)
  • Only search in files that are under Git control
  • Ignore searching in symlinks (e.g., .claude) using an approach like:

  search_repo() {
    local repo_path=$1
    local search_term=$2
  
    (cd "$repo_path" && {
      # Get submodule paths to exclude
      submodules=$(git config --file .gitmodules --name-only --get-regexp path 2>/dev/null | sed 's/.*path=//' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//')
  
      if [ -n "$submodules" ]; then
        git ls-files | grep -v "^($submodules)" | while read -r file; do
          [ ! -L "$file" ] && echo "$file"
        done | xargs grep "$search_term" 2>/dev/null
      else
        git ls-files | while read -r file; do
          [ ! -L "$file" ] && echo "$file"
        done | xargs grep "$search_term" 2>/dev/null
      fi
    })
  }
  

• Print the references in a table organized by:

  • Repos
  • Files

• Create a vim quickfile cfile for the locations using the conventions in .claude/skills/cfile.rules.md

• Pause and ask the user to continue

Update References

• Update the references in all the repos

Verification

• Confirm every reference to each moved, renamed, or deleted file was updated in every repo
• Re-run the search and confirm no stale reference remains
