all

Simple tool for managing several git repositories

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com:botverse/all.git

Put all within the $PATH scope.

You can do this for example:

# create a local bin directory
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
# symlink the all script
$ ln -s ~/REPO_LOCATION/all ~/.local/bin/all
# add the created bin directory to the path scope
$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile

Usage

By default all will understand that all the sub directories of the current CWD are git repositories, so having this directory structure.

 └ ~/workspace/
   ├ frontend/
   ├ backend/
   └ server/

you will be executing all in all the repos present in the current directory:

$ ~/workspace/$ all

you get:

frontend
On branch bootstrapping
nothing to commit, working directory clean

backend
On branch bootstrapping
nothing to commit, working directory clean

server
On branch bootstrapping
nothing to commit, working directory clean

You can tell all where the repositories are so you can execute it from any directory scope. Also you can specify which repositories to manage when working in a feature that won't affect all the repositories.

Check the configuration section for more information.

calling all with no arguments

will apply git status to all repos

$ all

is equivalent to

$ all status

calling all with any argument

will be applied to the repos

$ all pull upstream development

and so on...

Configure

Specify repos

If you are working in a specific set of applications, you have to define the ALL_REPOS environment var:

$ ALL_REPOS='modules/http modules/rest' all status

or define only once for that terminal session:

$ export ALL_REPOS='modules/http modules/rest'
...
$ all status # will only check http and rest

Home folder

If you define ALL_HOME to point to your workspace directory, you can call all from whichever directory:

$ echo export ALL_HOME=~/workspace >> ~/.bashrc

and then you can do all status from the module directory you are currently working on.
