git-bulk - Man Page

• Register the current directory as a workspace: git bulk --addcurrent workspace_name
• Register a workspace for bulk operations: git bulk --addworkspace workspace_name /absolute/path/to/repository
• Clone a repository inside a specific directory, then register the repository as a workspace: git bulk --addworkspace workspace_name /absolute/path/to/parent_directory --from remote_repository_location
• Clone repositories from a newline-separated list of remote locations, then register them as workspaces: git bulk --addworkspace workspace_name /path/to/root/directory --from /path/to/file
• List all registered workspaces: git bulk --listall
• Run a Git command on the repositories of the current workspace: git bulk command command_arguments
• Remove a specific workspace: git bulk --removeworkspace workspace_name
• Remove all workspaces: git bulk --purge

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

-a

Run a git command on all workspaces and their repositories.

-g

Ask the user for confirmation on every execution.

-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

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 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.

Register a workspace so that git bulk knows about it:

$ git bulk --addworkspace personal ~/workspaces/personal

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
