Got

Got is a tool for doing things with go and git that the go tool doesn't do for you by default. It's particularly useful for working with forks of open source projects, where import paths become an issue.

Usage

Replace strings in an entire directory tree

got replace [-d <depth> -p <dirpath>] <oldString> <newString>

Switch import paths to upstream repo, pull, switch back

got pull <remote> <branch>

This does the same thing as running replace, followed by a commit, followed by a git pull, followed by a replace which undoes the first replace.

Check out the same branch across many repositories

got checkout develop

This will cd into every directory in the current one and run git checkout develop. If you want to specify exceptions, add arguments of the form <repo>:<branch>, ie

got checkout develop myrepo:newfeature repo2:master

will cd into every repo and run git checkout develop except in myrepo it will do git checkout newfeature and in repo2 will do git checkout master. To only cd into some directories, just list them, ie.

got checkout develop myrepo anotherepo repo2:master

will checkout myrepo and anotherepo onto develop and repo2 onto master while leaving all others alone.

See which branch every repo in a directory is on
