A repository type is shared configuration for repositories of the same kind, such as React or Android. Create the type once in mojito, then assign it to each repository that should use those settings.

You change integrity checkers in one place instead of repeating them on every repository. A repository can stay untyped and keep using only its own settings.

Creating a Repository Type

mojito repo-type-create -n React -d "Repo type for React applications"

This creates a repository type named React. The name is required and must be unique. The description is optional.

Add integrity checkers with -it / --integrity-check, using the same FILE_EXTENSION:CHECKER_TYPE pairs as on a repository. Separate pairs with commas. See Integrity Checkers for the checker types.

mojito repo-type-create -n React -it "properties:MESSAGE_FORMAT,properties:TRAILING_WHITESPACE"

Leave -it off to create the type with no checkers.

A type can also store one AI prompt. Pass the text with --ai-prompt, or a UTF-8 file with --ai-prompt-file. The two flags cannot be used together. Mojito saves the prompt on the type. AI translation and review do not use it yet.

mojito repo-type-create -n React --ai-prompt-file react-prompt.txt

Listing Repository Types

mojito repo-type-list

This prints every repository type: id, name, and description. When an AI prompt is set, the line shows contains a value and not the prompt text. Integrity checkers are a count, such as contains 2 values, or blank when the type has none.

mojito repo-type-list --verbose

--verbose (short -vb) prints the AI prompt and each integrity checker as extension:TYPE.

Viewing a Repository Type

mojito repo-type-view -n React

This prints the id, name, description, and AI prompt for React repo type. Integrity checkers are printed as comma-separated extension:TYPE pairs. That line is omitted when the type has no checkers.

Updating a Repository Type

Pass at least one option besides the name. -n is the current name.

mojito repo-type-update -n React --new-name ReactWeb

This renames React to ReactWeb. --new-name (short -nn) sets the new name.

mojito repo-type-update -n React -d "Web React applications"

This replaces the description.

-it on update replaces the whole set of integrity checkers. Leave the flag off to keep the current checkers. An empty value clears them.

mojito repo-type-update -n React -it "properties:MESSAGE_FORMAT"

mojito repo-type-update -n React -it ""

An empty --ai-prompt clears the prompt. To clear it with --ai-prompt-file, pass a UTF-8 file that is empty after Mojito strips a leading BOM and one trailing newline. Leaving both flags off keeps the current prompt.

mojito repo-type-update -n React --ai-prompt ""

Deleting a Repository Type

mojito repo-type-delete -n React

This deletes the repository type React. The command fails while any repository is still assigned to that type. Clear those assignments first, then delete the type.

Assigning a Repository Type

The type must already exist. Assign it when you create a repository, or later. See Creating Repository.

mojito repo-create -n MyRepo --repo-type React -l fr-FR

mojito repo-update -n MyRepo --repo-type React

Omitting --repo-type, or passing an empty value, creates an untyped repository. An empty value on update clears the assignment.

mojito repo-update -n MyRepo --repo-type ""

Assigning a type does not replace the repository’s own -it checkers. At check time mojito runs the union of the type’s checkers and the repository’s checkers. repo-view prints Repository type --> React when a type is assigned, and lists that type’s checkers on Repository type checkers. See Integrity Checkers.
