git-for-each-repo(1) ==================== NAME ---- git-for-each-repo - Run a Git command on a list of repositories SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] '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. 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`. GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
