Provided commands:

• git listall
  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
