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.
