Git-pull-all NPM

git-pull-all

Concurrent git pull executor for multiple git repositories.

npm.io

git-pull-all is a command line tool to execute git pull on multiple git repositories in parallel. Because it is asynchronous, it works really well especially for many projects and must be a lot faster than any synchronous ways, such as:

#!/bin/sh
find . -type d -name .git -exec sh -c "cd \"{}\"/../ && pwd && git pull" \;

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm install -g git-pull-all

Usage

Assume you have these files and directories:

~/Projects/
  cool-examples/
    .git/
  funny-movies/
  my-todos.txt
  super-express/
    .git/

When you run git-pull-all command on ~/Projects directory, it should find child git repositories (in the above case cool-examples and super-express) then execute git pull on each of them.

$ cd ~/Projects
$ git-pull-all
funny-movies/
Not a git repository
cool-examples/
Already up-to-date.
super-express/
Already up-to-date.

You can also specify the path where the command is executed.

$ git-pull-all ~/Projects

You can also update repositories recursively.

$ git-pull-all ~/Projects -r

Assume you have these files and directories:

~/Projects/
  github/
    cool-examples/
      .git/
    funny-movies/
    my-todos.txt
    super-express/
      .git/
  gitlab/
    confidential/
      .git/

When you run git-pull-all -r command on ~/Projects directory, it should find all nested child git repositories (in the above case cool-examples, super-express and confidential) then execute git pull on each of them.

$ cd ~/Projects
$ git-pull-all
github/
Not a git repository
gitlab/
Not a git repository
funny-movies/
Not a git repository
cool-examples/
Already up-to-date.
confidential/
