Is there a way to pass a list of repositories?
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Like a list on a text file instead of all the repos under an org/individual? If yes, can you direct me to its specific documentation?
Where and how did you try to find this information? I'm trying to understand and improve how users find features.
I looked at the README and inside the /docs folder. It wasn't there, which you already know. Coming from git-xargs's documentation, I had the need on my mind when I landed on multi-gitter.
Does this help?
I'm assuming there isn't a way to pass an explicit list of repos to multi-gitter.
It might be a good idea to rename the docs folder since it might be misleading as it was for you.
What did you search for in the readme and where did you look?
It does exist there. It is called --repo or the config file option repo
Okay, some more inputs:
On the README, I searched for things like 'pass a list,' 'list of repos,' and 'path to a list of repos'…but also I missed the --repo flag option on that thick wall of options that are expandable on the README.
Would --repos, a plural flag for the list option be better? Would be nice for the documentation to mention the case of --repo somewhere. Since in most scenarios, not all repos under an org would require a horizontal change.
I've definitely been thinking about switching to plural for some flags, but that would have to be for a breaking release
Since in most scenarios, not all repos under an org would require a horizontal change.
This is definitely true. But the most common scenario is to run multi-gitter on an org or similar and let the script decide if a change is needed or not by making/not making a change. If this would be something like 3/100 repos, that might be too inefficient, and and --repo is there if needed. :)
