madgit

madgit is a CLI tool that lets you run Git commands distributed across multiple repositories at once. Instead of navigating into each directory, you can run a single madgit [dir] command to perform operations on every repository within a specified directory.

Commands

• clone --file <path>: Clones repositories from a list in a file to the target directory.
• pull: Runs git pull in each repository.
• fetch: Runs git fetch --all in each repository.
• status: Runs git status in each repository.
• push: Runs git push in each repository.
• checkout <branch>: Runs git checkout <branch> in each repository.
• stash [subcommand]: Runs git stash with a given subcommand (push, pop, apply, list, show) in each repository. Defaults to push.
• exec -- <command>: Executes any arbitrary command in each repository.
• no-git: Lists subdirectories which are not git repositories

Note: If no directory is specified, the current directory will be used.

Examples

# Clone repositories from a file to ~/projects
madgit ~/projects clone --file repos.txt

# Pull all repositories in current directory
madgit pull

# Pull all repositories in ~/projects
madgit ~/projects pull

# Check status of all repositories in current directory
madgit status

# Execute custom command in all repositories
madgit ~/projects exec -- git log --oneline -5
