A Git command line to manage multiple git repositories at once.
If you work in a microservices environment, with multiple repositories (mnulti repo), you have to work on several projects. Switching from one branch to another, managing them or keeping them updated can be tedious and with a high probability of forgetfulnesses
This module aims to replace this :
$ cd apps/project1
$ git pull
$ cd apps/project2
$ git pull
$ cd apps/project3
$ git pull
$ cd lib/project4
$ git pull
$ cd lib/project5
$ git pull
...
by that :
$ mgit pull
the same goes for fetch, branch, checkout, etc...
$ npm install -g mgitrepo
$ npm install mgitrepo
$ ./node_modules/.bin/mgit [command]
or if you add in your script section in package.json
...
"scripts": {
...
"mgit": "mgit",
...
},
...
$ npm run mgit [command]
mgit will try to read its configuration file in project root directory.
This file must be named .mgit.json
and be in json format.
