Sync Multi-Repo State

To detect drift across multiple git repositories, provide a list of repository paths and a reference repo to the PowerShell script. It compares branches and commit histories to highlight divergence and generates a machine-readable REPO_SYNC_REPORT.md for human review.

Comparing state divergence between forks and mirrors is handled by running a drift analysis script that checks commit histories against a reference repository. This produces a detailed report highlighting inconsistencies so teams can synchronize and maintain consistency.

You can safely synchronize repositories using the optional apply path, which includes safety checks to create backups before merging or pulling. This prevents data loss while aligning fork and mirror states with the reference repository.

You need both Git and PowerShell installed to run multi-repo drift reports. The automation script requires PowerShell to execute and Git to analyze branch and commit histories across the specified repository paths.

Drift reporting for multi-module projects works by accepting a list of repository paths and a reference path to compare commit histories. It outputs a REPO_SYNC_REPORT.md file that documents the current state and divergence of each module.

Automating repository sync with PowerShell requires specifying exact repository paths and a reference repo for analysis. The safe synchronization apply path is optional, meaning manual review of the generated drift report is recommended before executing any merge or pull operations.
