Get more out of git! This library provides extra git commands that make handling multiple repositories at one time much easier. Let’s say you have a microservice architecture, organized locally as multiple git repositories in a single directory. The feature you are currently working on requires changes in a handful of them. You have created branches by the same name in the associated repositories. You have finished your work and need to switch back to master for the entire system. Instead of trying to remember the 5 (or was it 6?) different services you made changes in…

Try git branches feature/my-cool-feature to print out all repos in the current directory that are checked out to the branch.

my-cool-service-repo
  bug/thing-was-broken
  feature/cool-new-thing
* feature/my-cool-feature
  some-other-branch

another-cool-service-repo
  some-branch
  some-other-branch
* feature/my-cool-feature

Other gitmore commands to try:

git checkouts <branch-name> (default: master) - Check out all branches that have a branch by the given name. Warns and prints unstaged changes when applicable, does not check out branch on that repo.

git diffs - Print diffs on all repos in current directory

git fetches - Run git fetch on all repos in current directory

git pulls - Pulls changes on all repos in current directory

git gems - Print names of repos that are ruby gem projects

git logf - Alias for git log --name-status --graph

git rollback - Alias for git reset HEAD~1

git save <name> - Alias for git stash save <name>

git sstash <filename> - Stash a single file

git statuses - Print git status for each repo in directory

git versions ruby - Print version of ruby being used on each repo in the current directory containing .ruby-version

More features documentation forthcoming! I whipped these up when working on a project with at least 30 repositories that I found I needed an easier way to manage. Much work is yet to be done, so please create an issue for problems, suggestions, or feature requests. And of course, feel free to contribute! Fork, play and create a pull request!
