Porting my old Repobot app to Elixir/Phoenix. The app automates keeping files in sync across repos with ability to generate them using templates.

READMEs, CHANGELOGs, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, LICENSE...but also workflow configurations etc.

You get the idea 💡

Early prototype of this app had no UI and was based on automatic syncing via "source repository" and pushing directly to "target repositories". Now I'm doing a huge overhaul and adding proper UI. The app will work in either PR mode or YOLO mode (so direct pushes to default branch).

If you're wondering "what the hell" then the reasoning is simple - if you've got tons of repos to maintain automation like that saves countless hours and save you from doing boring chores.

It helped us keeping files and configs up to date across 60+ repos in hanami/dry/rom orgs.

@solnic how is the elixir/Phoenix community doing these days? Still going strong? I’ve been unplugged from web dev and am curious.

@starr yes! Lots of interesting developments on many fronts 🙂 The language itself is evolving really well too. Recent progress on its type system is quite promising! People are awesome, kind and helpful. Feels like Ruby long time ago.

@solnic I’m glad to hear it! Elixir folks aways seemed really nice.
