Pull

The pull command allows you to update your local branch with the latest changes for all the repositories at once.

Command: git-utils pull <branch> [--dir=<directory>]

Example: git-utils pull main,devel

Fetch

The fetch command fetches the latest changes for all the repositories at once.

Command: git-utils fetch <branch> [--dir=<directory>]

Example: git-utils fetch feature-branch

Checkout

The checkout command allows you to switch between branches for all the repositories at once.

Command: git-utils checkout <branch> [--dir=<directory>]

Example: git-utils checkout develop

Grep

The grep command searches for a specified pattern in the files of all the repositories at once.

Command: git-utils grep <pattern> [--dir=<directory>]

Example: git-utils grep "TODO"

Tag

The tag command reads the config file and uses custom message for tag

Command: git-utils tag -a <tag_name> -m <custom_message_keyword>

Example: git-utils tag -a "v0.1.2" -m "changelog"

Sample config.json:

{
  "tags": {
    "messages": {
      "changelog": "Full changelog: https://github.com/{repo_owner}/{repo_name}/compare/{prevTag}...{newTag}"
    }
  }
}

Tag Templates variables available: repo_owner, repo_name, prevTag, newTag

Bump

The bump command bumps the version set in the .git-utils-bump.cfg and search & replaces the version for the files set in the config file using the subcommands: major, minor & patch

Command: git-utils bump <command>

Example: git-utils bump minor

Sample `.git-utils.bump.cfg:

[bumpversion]
current_version = 0.4.0
commit          = True
tag             = True
tag_format      = v{tag}

[bumpversion:file:cmd/root.go]
search  = git-utils v{current_version}
replace = git-utils v{new_version}

[bumpversion:file:README.md]
search  = git-utils v{current_version}
replace = git-utils v{new_version}

[bumpversion:file:utils/update_checker.go]
search  = v{current_version}
replace = v{new_version}
