rename

call rename.sh wrapper for git repositories, it moves .git dir away, performs all renames, moves .git dir back and creates commit:

./scripts/rename.sh \
  djangobaselibrary=yournewsupercoollibrary \
  django-base-library=your-new-super-cool-library \
  "Django Base Library=You New Super Cool Library"

each param is one rename pattern.

run

you can either pass arguments directly:

./scripts/run 'git checkout master' ./first-repo/ /tmp/second-repo/ ~/third-repo/

or define some replacements in runcommand.py, which will be evaluated. it is found in actual directory:

# beginnig of runcommand.py
import os.path

MY_DIRS = (
    './first-repo',
    '/tmp/second-repo',
    os.path.expanduser('~/third-repo/'),
)

my_command = 'git checkout master'

# end of runcommand.py

than call:

./scripts/run my_command MY_DIRS

you can define as many variables as you want, and there are two special names _cmd and _ALL, which are taken if no params are given:

# beginnig of runcommand.py
import os.path

MY_DIRS = (
    './first-repo',
    '/tmp/second-repo',
    os.path('~/third-repo/'),
)

my_command = 'git checkout master'

_ALL = MY_DIRS
_cmd = my_command

# end of runcommand.py

so, if you now call:

./scripts/run

now all three script calls are equivalent
