What's with the name?

exeggcute is named after the pokemon, Exeggcute. You can see more code/projects named after pokemon at repokemon.

Why did you make this?

I wanted to execute a chain of commands that reads nicely and not worry about syntax.

Below is an example that mirrors code from the originRepo to the targetRepo. This is a hook that runs for each push of a branch or tag to the originRepo and will then push that branch/tag to the targetRepo.

hasDir(repoDir)
    .then(exists => {
        if (!exists) {
            return exec(`git clone ${originRepo}`, baseDir)
                .then(() => exec(`git remote add target ${targetRepo}`, repoDir))
        }
        return Promise.resolve(exists);
    })
    .then(() => exec(`git checkout ${branch}`, repoDir))
    .then(() => exec(`git pull origin ${branch}`, repoDir))
    .then(() => exec(`git push target ${branch}`, repoDir))
    .then(() => exec(`git pull origin --tags`, repoDir))
    .then(() => exec(`git push target --tags`, repoDir))
    .catch((err) => console.error('Oh no! ', err));
