Small utility to run a script across several repositories. screpto is a union of the words scripts and repo.
Lets say that you want to bump a version of a common dependency across several repositories of your organization. screpto will help you execute this kind of tasks.
$ git clone git@github.com:IndigoUnited/node-screpto.git
$ cd node-screpto && npm install
Why isn't this published in npm? Well because I didn't feel the need for it, yet..
Before using the tool, you need to setup the config.json file.
There are instructions there, simply follow them.
First create a script file with execute permission (chmod +x). It's recommend to put the script files in the script folder. Also, if your scripts uses nodejs and has a dependency, install it inside that folder so that the root package.json does not get polluted with the script's dependencies.
There is an example of a script file that changes the license of a repository.
$ ./screpto.js scripts/mit_license.js "*"
Will run the script for each repository.
$ ./screpto.js scripts/mit_license.js "node-*"
Will run the script for each repository that starts with node-.
$ ./screpto.js scripts/mit_license.js "foo-" "bar-"
Will run the script for each repository that starts with foo- or bar-.
The second argument is the script to be run for each repository, with REPO_DIR environment variable pointing to the repository directory. If the script exits with a code different than 0, screpto will abort.
The rest of the arugments are patterns, which are minimatch compatible. For each repository that matched the pattern, screpto will fetch and reset it to the last commit on the remote master branch.
Isn't that easy? For more information, check the usage help with $ ./screpto.js -h.
