NAME

       GROK-PULL - Clone or update local git repositories

SYNOPSIS

          grok-pull -c /path/to/grokmirror.conf

DESCRIPTION

       Grok-pull  is  the main tool for replicating repository updates from the grokmirror primary server to the
       mirrors.

       Grok-pull has two modes of operation -- onetime and continous (daemonized). In one-time  operation  mode,
       it  downloads  the  latest manifest and applies any outstanding updates. If there are new repositories or
       changes in the existing repositories, grok-pull will perform the necessary git commands to clone or fetch
       the required data from the master. Once all updates are applied, it will write its own manifest and exit.
       In this mode, grok-pull can be run manually or from cron.

       In continuous operation mode (when run with -o), grok-pull will continue running after all  updates  have
       been applied and will periodically re-download the manifest from the server to check for new updates. For
       this  to work, you must set pull.refresh in grokmirror.conf to the amount of seconds you would like it to
       wait between refreshes.

       If pull.socket is specified, grok-pull will also listen on  a  socket  for  any  push  updates  (relative
       repository  path  as present in the manifest file, terminated with newlines). This can be used for pubsub
       subscriptions (see contrib).

          -n, --no-mtime-check
                 Run without checking manifest mtime.
