.SH "NAME"
git-for-each-repo \- Run a Git command on a list of repositories
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fIgit for\-each\-repo\fR \-\-config=<config> [\-\-] <arguments>
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Run a Git command on a list of repositories\&. The arguments after the known options or \fB\-\-\fR indicator are used as the arguments for the Git subprocess\&.
.sp
THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL\&. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE\&.
.sp
For example, we could run maintenance on each of a list of repositories stored in a \fBmaintenance\&.repo\fR config variable using
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
git for\-each\-repo \-\-config=maintenance\&.repo maintenance run
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
This will run \fBgit\fR \fB\-C\fR \fI<repo>\fR \fBmaintenance\fR \fBrun\fR for each value \fI<repo>\fR in the multi\-valued config variable \fBmaintenance\&.repo\fR\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-\-config=<config>
.RS 4
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\&.
.sp
These config values are loaded from system, global, and local Git config, as available\&. If
\fBgit\fR
\fBfor\-each\-repo\fR
is run in a directory that is not a Git repository, then only the system and global config is used\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-keep\-going
.RS 4
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\&.
.sp
Note that the exact exit code of the failing command is not passed through as the exit code of the
\fBfor\-each\-repo\fR
command: If the command failed in any of the specified repositories, the overall exit code will be 1\&.
.RE
.SH "SUBPROCESS BEHAVIOR"
.sp
If any \fBgit\fR \fB\-C\fR \fI<repo>\fR \fI<arguments>\fR subprocess returns a non\-zero exit code, then the \fBgit\fR \fBfor\-each\-repo\fR process returns that exit code without running more subprocesses\&.
.sp
Each \fBgit\fR \fB\-C\fR \fI<repo>\fR \fI<arguments>\fR subprocess inherits the standard file descriptors \fBstdin\fR, \fBstdout\fR, and \fBstderr\fR\&.
.SH "GIT"
.sp
Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite
