git all

Execute a git command on multiple repositories

Installation

Add git-all to your PATH

Note: git-all depends on find and will only work on Linux at this time.

Usage

When git-all is on your PATH, it can be called without the hyphen:

$ git all -h
usage: git-all [-h] [-d DEPTH] [-s] [-l] [-x] ...

positional arguments:
  args        git command to execute in each repo

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -d DEPTH    max search depth (used by the find command)
  -s          include submodules
  -l          list repos
  -x          allow pushing to repos (expert mode)

Notes

• The default search depth is 6

• The -x flag is required to use the push command

Examples

Check status of all development projects

[hostname ~/devel]$ git all -d 2 status

Change all submodules of a project from detached heads to master branches

[hostname ~/motor/modules]$ git all -s status
[hostname ~/motor/modules]$ git all -s fetch
[hostname ~/motor/modules]$ git all -s checkout master
[hostname ~/motor/modules]$ git all -s status

Convert a shallow synApps clone to a full synApps clone

[hostname ~/synApps]$ git all fetch --unshallow
[hostname ~/synApps]$ git all config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
[hostname ~/synApps]$ git all fetch origin

Note: assemble_synApps.sh creates a shallow clone by default.
