Update all git repositories under a base directory

update_git_repos.sh

#!/bin/bash

# store the current dir
CUR_DIR=$(pwd)

# Let the person running the script know what's going on.
echo "\n\033[1mPulling in latest changes for all repositories...\033[0m\n"

# Find all git repositories and update it to the master latest revision
for i in $(find . -name ".git" | cut -c 3-); do
    echo "";
    echo "\033[33m"+$i+"\033[0m";

    # We have to go to the .git parent directory to call the pull command
    cd "$i";
    cd ..;

    # finally pull
    git pull origin master;

    # lets get back to the CUR_DIR
    cd $CUR_DIR
done

echo "\n\033[32mComplete!\033[0m\n"

Works perfectly. Thanks!

Thanks!

find . -maxdepth 8 -name '.git' -prune -type d -printf '%h\n' | parallel --eta 'echo {} && git -C {} pull'

Very simple, yet effective and blazingly fast. Amazing! Thanks, @harisankar-krishna-2015

Heh! I had this need again after 9 years and was surprised by the amount of comments =)

Thanks for all suggestions - I will update the gist with improvements to run on macos and Linux 👍

How will this work in visual studio code with a workspace setup? I would like to be able to do a pull-from in all the repositories in the workspace, followed by a syncronization, except if there is a merge conflict.

Did you find a solution to this or an alternative?

Here is a solution for MacOSX:
Im running that from my root repo folder ( no .git in that folder )

~/Documents/repos/
~/Documents/repos/repo1
~/Documents/repos/repo2

/usr/bin/find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -print | parallel --eta 'echo {} && git -C {} pull'
