gitall

gitall finds all repositories below a directory and runs the given Git command in each repository in parallel.

Usage

The simplest form is to cd to a directory containing all the repos you want to operate on, then write your Git command changing git to gitall.

Pro Tip: if you add a file called git-foo to your $PATH (either via copying or symlink), you can call that program through git using git foo; no additional aliases or setup needed. So, after running ln -s /usr/bin/gitall /usr/bin/git-all, you can use gitall via git all exactly the same as if you used gitall.

Examples

Fetch the latest changes for all your repositories under ~/code:

$ cd ~/code
$ gitall fetch origin

Alternatively, you can run gitall -D ~/code fetch origin from any directory.
