git-all

git-all

git-all is a command line utility to run git command under multiple git repositories concurrently.

Installation

From NPM:

$ npm install -g git-all

Usage

git-all command takes any git command as its first argument and runs that command under the sub directories of current directory where the .git directory is existed in.

Let's say you have the following files and directories:

~/Projects/
  cool-examples/
    .git/
  funny-movies/
  my-todos.txt
  super-express/
    .git/

And if you run git-all status command under ~/Projects directory:

$ cd ~/Projects
$ git-all status

The command first tries to find the all git projects under ~/Projects (in the above case cool-examples and super-express are the target), and executes git status command under that directories.

Is it boring? You can do whatever you want:

$ git-all fetch
$ git-all "reset HEAD --hard"
$ git-all "config user.email [e-mail]"

You can also specify the path where the command is ran as the second argument.

$ git-all status ~/Projects

Note

Currently, if your command get prompt (for example, requires username and password), this tool doesn't work properly. As a workaround you can cache your credentials using Git's credential cache.

• Caching your GitHub password in Git - User Documentation
• Git - git-credential-cache Documentation

The following command caches your credentials locally for an hour.

$ git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'

Development

Running test

Run:

$ npm test

Releasing

npm-version command will bump the version and write the new data back to package.json. It will also create a version commit and tag.

$ npm version <newversion>

The newversion argument should be semver string, usually either one of patch, minor or major.

Example:

$ npm version patch
