Migrate remaining hands-on scripts to RepoSmith v2 syntax #268

Description

@jovnc

Context

Several hands_on scripts still use the legacy download signature:

  • def download(verbose: bool):

We should migrate all remaining scripts to RepoSmith v2 style:

  • def download(rs: RepoSmith):

and replace legacy utility-wrapper patterns with RepoSmith v2 helpers where applicable.

Goal

Standardize all hands-on scripts on RepoSmith v2 syntax and usage to improve consistency, maintainability, and future compatibility.

Affected hands-on scripts

  • hands_on/branch_rename.py
  • hands_on/diff_files.py
  • hands_on/fetch_merge.py
  • hands_on/force_push.py
  • hands_on/move_tags.py
  • hands_on/populate_remote.py
  • hands_on/remote_branch_delete.py
  • hands_on/remote_branch_pull.py
  • hands_on/remote_branch_push.py
  • hands_on/remote_branch_rename.py
  • hands_on/update_remote.py

Proposed migration work

  • Update function signature from download(verbose: bool) to download(rs: RepoSmith).
  • Use RepoSmith v2 helpers (rs.git, rs.files, rs.gh) instead of old wrapper/deprecated paths where possible.
  • Keep behavior and final repository states unchanged from current exercise intent.

Acceptance criteria

  • All affected scripts use download(rs: RepoSmith).
  • No remaining old-signature hands-on downloads.
  • Scripts execute successfully with expected end state.
  • PRs should merge to reposmith-v2-migration branch instead of main branch
