Script to help wrangle multiple git repositories. Currently, it can show the status of all repositories at a glance, and safely git pull all of them.
Note: older versions of the script required sourcing it. It is no longer necessary, and moreover, will not work with the most recent verions. The method below is preferred.
Clone the repository somewhere on your home folder. Let's suppose it is on ~/bin:
~/bin$ git clone [email protected]:rafaeldff/rgit.git rgit
Then add it to the PATH environment variable, usually on .bashrc:
export PATH="$PATH:/bin/rgit"
That's it.
The script operates on all git repository clones on subdirectories, even indirect, of the current directory. Currently, it sports two commands:
rgit: shows the status of the repositories at a glance:
It shows, for each repository: the current branch, whether the working copy is dirty or clean, whether there are commits to push or pull to/from the upstream branch. This entails a git fetch for each repository to get updated information.
rgit pull: effectively does a git pull for each repository in a safe way. By this I mean that it will not attempt to merge, it only pulls when a clean fast-forward is possible.
