I've been keeping a list of modules I use often in an Excel spreadsheet together with the CVS command for drupal.org. I've been cutting and pasting rows from that spreadsheet, pasting them into Text Mate and doing some text manipulation in order to get code to install multiple contrib modules at once. There had to be a better workflow!

The result is the Drupal CVS Code Generator tool that I've devised and am making available to Drupal developers.

Please leave comments on this node with your reactions, ideas, suggestions, bug reports etc. (or referral to some other URL that already does this but better!).

Here are the key links:

• List of modules
• Generate code for CVS syntax
• Generate code for Jody Hamilton's drcvs bash command
• Add a taxonomy term(s) so you can create your own grouping(s) of Drupal contrib modules
• Bulk add taxonomy term or terms to a set of modules

Using taxonomy, you can create your own sets of modules and filter on that set to create just the hunk of CVS code that you need.

The output comes in the format required by CVS on the Drupal.org server.

There is also the choice of outputting the CVS code in the format required for using the drcvs bash command that Zivtech's Jody Hamilton wrote.

You don't need to register on this site to use the tool. However, you can't create your own tags for a set of modules and you can't add or edit modules.
