multi-gitter - 批量代码仓库修改与自动化管理工具

multi-gitter allows you to make changes in multiple repositories simultaneously. This is achieved by running a script or program in the context of multiple repositories. If any changes are made, a pull request is created that can be merged manually by the set reviewers, or automatically by multi-gitter when CI pipelines has completed successfully.

Are you a bash-guru or simply prefer your scripting in Node.js? It doesn't matter, since multi-gitter support any type of script or program. If you can script it to run in one place, you can run it in all your repositories with one command!

Some examples:

Syncing a file (like a PR-template)
Programmatic refactoring
Updating a dependency
Automatically fixing linting issues
Search and replace
Anything else you are able to script!

Example

Run with file

$ multi-gitter run ./my-script.sh -O my-org -m "Commit message" -B branch-name

Make sure the script has execution permissions before running it (chmod +x ./my-script.sh)

Run code through interpreter

If you are running an interpreted language or similar, it's important to specify the path as an absolute value (since the script will be run in the context of each repository). Using the $PWD variable helps with this.

$ multi-gitter run "python $PWD/run.py" -O my-org -m "Commit message" -B branch-name
$ multi-gitter run "node $PWD/script.js" -R repo1 -R repo2 -m "Commit message" -B branch-name
$ multi-gitter run "go run $PWD/main.go" -U my-user -m "Commit message" -B branch-name

Test before live run

You might want to test your changes before creating commits. The --dry-run provides an easy way to test without actually making any modifications. It works well with setting the log level to debug with --log-level=debug to also print the changes that would have been made.

$ multi-gitter run ./script.sh --dry-run --log-level=debug -O my-org -m "Commit message" -B branch-name

Install

Homebrew

If you are using Mac or Linux, Homebrew is an easy way of installing multi-gitter.

brew install lindell/multi-gitter/multi-gitter

Manual binary install

Find the binary for your operating system from the release page and download it.

Automatic binary install

To automatically install the latest version

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lindell/multi-gitter/master/install.sh | sh

From source

You can also install from source with go install, this is not recommended for most cases.

go install github.com/lindell/multi-gitter@latest

Token

To use multi-gitter, a token that is allowed to list repositories and create pull requests is needed. This token can either be set in the GITHUB_TOKEN, GITLAB_TOKEN, GITEA_TOKEN environment variable, or by using the --token flag.

GitHub

How to generate a GitHub personal access token (classic). Make sure to give it repo permissions.

GitLab

How to generate a GitLab personal access token. Make sure to give to it the api permission.

Gitea

In Gitea, access tokens can be generated under Settings -> Applications -> Manage Access Tokens

Config file

All configuration in multi-gitter can be done through command line flags, configuration files or a mix of both. If you want to use a configuration file, simply use the --config=./path/to/config.yaml. Multi-gitter will also read from the file ~/.multi-gitter/config and take and configuration from there. The priority of configs are first flags, then defined config file and lastly the static config file.
