gitall

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

GitHub Workflow Status Crate Documentation

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. To pass options to the Git command, you must add -- before your command to tell gitall to stop parsing its own options and pass them to Git. For example, to list all remote and local repository branches you need to run gitall -- branch -va.

Pro Tip: if you add a file called git-foo to your PATH (either via copying or symlinking), 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
