r-git

r-git is an executable gem that assists with managing multiple git repositories. The current functionality allows you to perform the following actions on multiple repositories at once:

• Pull
• Checkout
• Fetch
• View the status

+

Imagine the scenario where you have several git projects under some parent:

└── personal-projects
    ├── arbitary-sub-folder
    │   ├── projectX (git repo)
    │   ├── projectY (git repo)
    └── r-git (git repo)
└── work-projects
    ├── repo-one (git repo)
    └── repo-two (git repo)

r-git has the concepts of 'roots' in our scenario personal-projects and work-projects are our roots. I register these by running the following from within each folder:

$ rgit add-root

Running any of the following commands will result in that command being executed across all projects within the root:

• rgit status

  Status of all repositories

• rgit pull

  Execute git pull on all repositories

• rgit fetch

  Execute git fetch on all repositories

• rgit checkout development

  Execute git checkout development on all repositories

For example: executing rgit fetch from within any folder in personal-projects will run git fetch on all repositories in that folder/root.

It's that simple!

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install r-git
