1 | git-for-each-repo(1) |
2 | ==================== | |
3 | ||
4 | NAME | |
5 | ---- | |
6 | git-for-each-repo - Run a Git command on a list of repositories | |
7 | ||
8 | ||
9 | SYNOPSIS | |
10 | -------- | |
11 | [verse] | |
12 | 'git for-each-repo' --config=<config> [--] <arguments> | |
13 | ||
14 | ||
15 | DESCRIPTION | |
16 | ----------- | |
17 | Run a Git command on a list of repositories. The arguments after the | |
18 | known options or `--` indicator are used as the arguments for the Git | |
19 | subprocess. | |
20 | ||
21 | THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE. | |
22 | ||
23 | For example, we could run maintenance on each of a list of repositories | |
24 | stored in a `maintenance.repo` config variable using | |
25 | ||
26 | ------------- | |
27 | git for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo maintenance run | |
28 | ------------- | |
29 | ||
30 | This will run `git -C <repo> maintenance run` for each value `<repo>` | |
31 | in the multi-valued config variable `maintenance.repo`. | |
32 | ||
33 | ||
34 | OPTIONS | |
35 | ------- | |
36 | --config=<config>:: | |
37 | Use the given config variable as a multi-valued list storing | |
38 | absolute path names. Iterate on that list of paths to run | |
39 | the given arguments. | |
40 | + | |
41 | These config values are loaded from system, global, and local Git config, | |
42 | as available. If `git for-each-repo` is run in a directory that is not a | |
43 | Git repository, then only the system and global config is used. | |
44 | ||
45 | ||
46 | SUBPROCESS BEHAVIOR | |
47 | ------------------- | |
48 | ||
49 | If any `git -C <repo> <arguments>` subprocess returns a non-zero exit code, | |
50 | then the `git for-each-repo` process returns that exit code without running | |
51 | more subprocesses. | |
52 | ||
53 | Each `git -C <repo> <arguments>` subprocess inherits the standard file | |
54 | descriptors `stdin`, `stdout`, and `stderr`. | |
