This package provides a set of git meta-porcelain commands to manage a work tree with multiple git repositories.

Provided commands:

  List repositories in tree.
• git cloneall FILE
  Clone all repositories in file

  Pull changes for all repositories in tree

These enable setting up and maintaining mutiple development machines with a number of git repositories.

Workflow

In a tree with multiple git repositories:

• to pull external changes to all repositories in a tree:

  $ git pullall -r
  

• to create the same env on a different computer:

  $ git listall -r > repos.lst
  

  move the repos.lst to the target machine and:

  $ git cloneall repos.lst
  

• to update the repository list with new repos:

  $ git listall -r repos.lst >> repos.lst
  

Tips

• It is convenient to manage repos.lst as symlinks to a unified directory and syncronize it between machines via someting like syncthing
