Multi-Git

Do you have a lot of git repositories, distributed over your whole system? Would you like to manage them using a simple command, without the need to constantly switch directories?

Use multi-git to manage these repos (I typically use the alias mgit for this command, but mgit was unfortunately already taken on PyPi).

First use multi-git add /path/to/git/repo -t tag1 to add git repos. Then, use the standard git commands like status, commit, pull and push to execute those commands over all managed git repos. To limit the set of repos, you can use the -t (--tags) argument, that selects all repos that have at least one of these tags set. For example,

multi-git pull

will pull the latest changes for all git repos that are managed by multi-git. As another example,

multi-git status

or

multi-git st

will display all changes in all managed repos. As already mentioned, -t or --tags will limit the set of repos:

multi-git st -t work
