GIT-FOR-EACH-REPO(1)           Git Manual           GIT-FOR-EACH-REPO(1)

NAME top

       git-for-each-repo - Run a Git command on a list of repositories

SYNOPSIS top

       git for-each-repo --config=<config> [--] <arguments>

DESCRIPTION top

       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 top

       --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 top

       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.
