GIT-BULK(1)

NAME
git-bulk - Run git commands on multiple repositories

SYNOPSIS
git-bulk [-q|--quiet] [-g] [--no-follow-symlinks] [--no-follow-hidden] ([-a]|[-w WS-NAME]) GIT-COMMAND
git-bulk --addworkspace WS-NAME WS-ROOT-DIRECTORY (--from URL-OR-FILE)
git-bulk --removeworkspace WS-NAME
git-bulk --addcurrent WS-NAME
git-bulk --purge
git-bulk --listall

DESCRIPTION
git bulk adds convenient support for operations that you want to execute on multiple git repositories.

•   simply register workspaces that contain multiple git repos in their directory structure

•   run any git command on the repositories of the registered workspaces in one command to git bulk

•   use the "guarded mode" to check on each execution

OPTIONS
-a

Run a git command on all workspaces and their repositories.

-g

Ask the user for confirmation on every execution.

--no-follow-symlinks

Do not traverse symbolic links under the workspace when searching for git repositories.

--no-follow-hidden

Do not traverse hidden (dotted) directories under the workspace when searching for git repositories.

-w WS-NAME

Run the git command on the specified workspace. The workspace must be registered.

GIT-COMMAND

Any git Command you wish to execute on the repositories.

--addworkspace WS-NAME WS-ROOT-DIRECTORY (--from URL-OR-FILE)

Register a workspace for bulk operations. All repositories in the directories below WS-ROOT-DIRECTORY get registered under this workspace with the name WS-NAME. WS-ROOT-DIRECTORY must be an absolute path.

With option '--from' the URL to a single repository or a file containing multiple URLs can be added and they will be cloned directly into the workspace. Suitable for the initial setup of a multi-repo project.

--removeworkspace WS-NAME

Remove the workspace with the logical name WS-NAME.

--addcurrent WS-NAME

Adds the current directory as workspace to git bulk operations. The workspace is referenced with its logical name WS-NAME.

git bulk --purge

Removes all defined repository locations.

git bulk --listall

List all registered repositories.

EXAMPLES
Register a workspace so that git bulk knows about it using an absolute path:
$ git bulk --addworkspace personal ~/workspaces/personal
Or register a workspace using an environment variable pointing to an absolute path:
$ git bulk --addworkspace personal '$PERSONAL_WORKSPACE'
Use option --from in order to directly clone a repository or multiple repositories
$ git bulk --addworkspace personal ~/workspaces/personal --from https://github.com/tj/git-extras.git
$ git bulk --addworkspace personal ~/workspaces/personal --from ~/repositories.txt
repositories.txt
----------------------------------
https://host-of-git/repo-1.git
https://host-of-git/repo-2.git
https://host-of-git/repo-3.git
Register the current directory as a workspace to git bulk:
$ git bulk --addcurrent personal
List all registered workspaces:
$ git bulk --listall
Run a git command on the repositories of the current workspace:
$ git bulk fetch
Run a git command on the specified workspace and its repositories:
$ git bulk -w personal fetch
Run a git command but ask the user for confirmation on every execution (guarded mode):
$ git bulk -g fetch
Remove a registered workspace:
$ git bulk --removeworkspace personal
Remove all registered workspaces:
$ git bulk --purge

FILES

•   .gitconfig: Store the git-bulk registered workspaces under the bulkworkspaces key.
