Ubuntu post-installation script for cloning multiple git repositories.

multiple-git-clone.md

multiple-git-clone.sh

Every time I install Ubuntu on a different computer, I need to clone again the same git repositories. This is why I use this bash script.

Usage

It clones the list of repositories to a convenient working directory in the home folder. I use the /home/git folder.

Arguments are lists of git repositories. One repo per line, one file per list. See the example:

git-project-1
git-project-2
git-project-3
...
git-project-n

This way you can execute the script passing one or many files as an argument

bash multiple-git-clone.sh *.list

multiple-git-clone.sh

#!/bin/sh

readarray array <<< $( cat "$@" )

mkdir -p ~/git && cd ~/git

for element in ${array[@]}
do
  echo "clonning $element"
  git clone $element
done

my.list

Thank you, this works great

Thanks a lot, it worked amazingly!

For a command that works in Mac OS, script.sh:

#!/bin/sh

for element in $(cat repo-list.txt)
do
  echo "clonning $element"
  git clone $element
done

Then run:
bash script.sh

Thank you !!!
