🍩 What is Gource-Tools?

Gource Tools is a comprehensive toolkit designed specifically for Gource. Its primary function is to streamline the process of downloading multiple repositories, generating log files, and merging them into a single, large file named ACombinedLog.txt. Additionally, Gource Tools automates the downloading of avatars from Gravatar. This toolkit is particularly useful for managing large-scale projects with numerous distinct repositories.
