Multicast your git actions.

Have you ever need to clone a whole bunch of repositories? Have you forgot to pull remote changes?

git_multicast is a ruby gem that provides a simple cli for issuing commands to multiple git repositories, much like a multicast sends data to multiple recipients.

git_multicast executes actions in parallel, so cloning 30 repositories will take just as long as cloning the larger one, and nothing more.

Actions currently supported:

• Git clone all repositories of an user or organization (github & bitbucket).

git_multicast clone username

• Git pull all repositories in a directory.

git_multicast clone username

• Git status all repositories in a directory.

git_multicast status

• Sends a custom git command to all repositories in a directory.

git_multicast cast "push --force origin master" # don't do this at home.

All actions allow for both --verbose and --quiet options that will control how much output is shown for each command execution.

Actions to be supported:

• Git clone repositories from Gitlab.
