The link is to the source code. If you'd rather understand what this does by seeing example output (without running it), see:

Sweet! He's got a script to automate pushing a local branch to a remote and setting up tracking at one shot: http://git-wt-commit.rubyforge.org/git-publish-branch

I always forget the exact config settings each time I have to do it... probably should have written a script myself after doing it twice :)

If you don't mind using ruby, you can use git remote branch

It has got many timesaving tricks.

Works great with this little script I wrote to execute commands on all my repos:

    #!/bin/sh

    REPOS="\
    $HOME/git/repo1 \
    $HOME/git/repo2 \
    $HOME/git/repo3"

    for REPO in $REPOS; do
        echo "=============="
        echo $REPO
        if [ -d "$REPO" ]; then
            pushd "$REPO" > /dev/null
                sh -c "$1"
            popd > /dev/null
        else
            echo "$REPO doesn't exist"
        fi
    done
    echo "=============="

Save it as "eachrepo" or something, then do

    eachrepo "git wtf"

Some friendly shell-scripting hints!

— Quoted strings continue until the close quote, regardless of intervening newlines, tabs or spaces. Your REPOS definition would be more readable without the backslashes and work just as well:

  REPOS="
    $HOME/git/repo1
    $HOME/git/repo2
    $HOME/git/repo3
    "

— pushd and popd are handy, but are bash extensions and not part of POSIX /bin/sh (and yes, a lot of systems including Ubuntu and Debian have a bare POSIX /bin/sh). Even when they are available, shell error handling can make it difficult to be sure that each pushd has a matching popd. A simpler approach is to just cd in the subshell:

  sh -c "cd $REPO; $1"

— Rather than explicitly invoking the shell you might find it easier to do the same thing with syntax:

  (
    cd $REPO
    eval "$1"
  )

...or, you might find that even less readable. Up to you!

No need. "git --git-dir $REPO/.git --work-tree $REPO <command>" is (almost) exactly equivalent to cd-ing to the work tree.

Thanks for the tips.
