gsinghpal 4830613701 Add cross-machine sync tooling (clone/pull/push all module repos)
repos.txt + sync-*.sh let any machine (Mac or Windows/Git Bash) hydrate all 49
module repos and keep them in sync via GitHub+gitea. Pulls are fast-forward only
(never clobber local work); pushes send commits only and flag uncommitted repos.
See SYNC.md for the two-machine workflow.

# Syncing Odoo-Modules across machines (Mac + Windows)
Each module/suite folder here is its **own git repo** (private on GitHub at
`gsinghpal/<name>`, mirrored to gitea `admin/<name>`). This parent folder is a
separate repo that holds the shared files (CLAUDE.md, docs, scripts, these sync
helpers). The cloud (GitHub) is the hub: both machines push to it and pull from it.
Nothing here ever deletes your work. Pulls are fast-forward only, so local changes
are never overwritten; pushes only send commits.
## First-time setup on a new machine (e.g. the Windows PC)
1. Install **Git** (Git for Windows includes "Git Bash", which runs these scripts).
2. Sign in to GitHub once so git can push/pull:
- easiest: `gh auth login` (or let Git Credential Manager prompt on first pull)
3. Get everything:
```
git clone https://github.com/gsinghpal/Odoo-Modules.git
cd Odoo-Modules
bash sync-clone-all.sh
```
That clones the parent, then all 49 module repos into place.
(gitea is an optional second mirror. The first push to it will ask for your
`git.nexasystems.ca` login. If you only use GitHub, those gitea lines just fail
quietly and GitHub stays the source of truth.)
## Daily workflow (same on Mac and Windows)
- **Before you start:** `bash sync-pull-all.sh` - pulls the latest for the parent
and every module. Anything with local changes or a diverged history is skipped and
listed, so you can handle it yourself.
- **Do your work**, then **commit inside the module(s) you changed**:
```
cd fusion_clock
git add -A
git commit -m "..."
cd ..
```
- **When done:** `bash sync-push-all.sh` - pushes every committed change to GitHub
+ gitea, and flags any repo that still has uncommitted changes (so nothing is
silently left behind).
## Golden rule for two machines
Push from the machine you worked on **before** you switch to the other one, and run
`sync-pull-all.sh` on the other machine **before** you start. That keeps both in sync
and avoids diverged histories.
## Helper scripts
| Script | What it does |
|--------|--------------|
| `sync-clone-all.sh` | Clone any module repo listed in `repos.txt` that isn't here yet. |
| `sync-pull-all.sh` | Fast-forward pull the parent + all modules (safe, never clobbers). |
| `sync-push-all.sh` | Push committed work for the parent + all modules to GitHub + gitea. |
| `sync-refresh-list.sh` | Rebuild `repos.txt` from the repos present here (after adding/removing a module). |
| `repos.txt` | The list of module repo names the scripts act on. |
