gitup (the git-repo-updater)
gitup is a tool designed to pull to a large number of git repositories at once. It is smart enough to ignore repos with dirty working directories, and provides a (hopefully) great way to get everything up-to-date for those short periods of internet access between long periods of none.
gitup works on both OS X and Linux. You should have the latest version of git and at least Python 2.7 installed.
Installation
First:
git clone git://github.com/earwig/git-repo-updater.git
cd git-repo-updater
Then, to install for everyone:
sudo python setup.py install
...or for just yourself (make sure you have ~/.local/bin in your PATH):
python setup.py install --user
Finally, simply delete the git-repo-updater directory, and you’re done!
Usage
There are two ways to update repos: you can pass them as command arguments, or save them as “bookmarks”.
For example:
gitup ~/repos/foo ~/repos/bar ~/repos/baz
...will automatically pull to the foo, bar, and baz git repositories if
their working directories are clean (to avoid merge conflicts). Additionally,
you can just type:
gitup ~/repos
...to automatically update all git repositories in that directory.
To add a bookmark (or bookmarks), either of these will work:
gitup --add ~/repos/foo ~/repos/bar ~/repos/baz
gitup --add ~/repos
Then, to update (pull to) all of your bookmarks, just run gitup without args:
gitup
Deleting a bookmark is as easy as adding one:
gitup --delete ~/repos
Want to view your current bookmarks? Simple:
gitup --list
You can mix and match bookmarks and command arguments:
gitup --add ~/repos/foo ~/repos/bar
gitup ~/repos/baz # update 'baz' only
gitup # update 'foo' and 'bar' only
gitup ~/repos/baz --update # update all three!
Want to update all git repositories in your current directory?
gitup .
For a list of all command arguments and abbreviations:
gitup --help
Finally, all paths can be either absolute (e.g. /path/to/repo) or relative (e.g. ../my/repo).
