NAME
git-for-each-repo - Run a Git command on a list of repositories
SYNOPSIS
git for-each-repo --config=<config> [--] <arguments>
DESCRIPTION
Run a Git command on a list of repositories. The arguments after the
known options or -- indicator are used as the arguments for the Git
subprocess.
THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.
For example, we could run maintenance on each of a list of repositories
stored in a maintenance.repo config variable using
git for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo maintenance run
This will run git -C <repo> maintenance run for each value <repo> in
the multi-valued config variable maintenance.repo.
OPTIONS
--config=<config>
Use the given config variable as a multi-valued list storing
absolute path names. Iterate on that list of paths to run the given
arguments.
These config values are loaded from system, global, and local Git
config, as available. If git for-each-repo is run in a directory
that is not a Git repository, then only the system and global
config is used.
--keep-going
Continue with the remaining repositories if the command failed on a
repository. The exit code will still indicate that the overall
operation was not successful.
Note that the exact exit code of the failing command is not passed
through as the exit code of the for-each-repo command: If the
command failed in any of the specified repositories, the overall
exit code will be 1.
SUBPROCESS BEHAVIOR
If any git -C <repo> <arguments> subprocess returns a non-zero exit
code, then the git for-each-repo process returns that exit code without
running more subprocesses.
Each git -C <repo> <arguments> subprocess inherits the standard file
descriptors stdin, stdout, and stderr.
