mgit

Run the same git command in every Git repository under the current directory.

This package ships the official mgit binaries for macOS, Linux and Windows, so npx works without any build step and without running install scripts.

Install

npm install --global @willh/mgit     # or: pnpm add -g @willh/mgit, yarn global add @willh/mgit
npx @willh/mgit                      # run without installing
bunx @willh/mgit

Other ways to install (Homebrew-free one line installers, release archives, cargo install) are documented in the main README.

Usage

mgit                       # git status -s in every repository
mgit pull                  # git pull in every repository
mgit fetch --all --prune
mgit log --oneline -n 3
mgit -q status             # quiet: no per repository headers
mgit --depth 2 fetch       # search two directory levels deep
mgit --list                # only list the repositories that were found
mgit --fail-fast pull      # stop at the first repository that fails

--help lists every option, --version prints the version. Anything that is not an mgit option is handed to git verbatim, so mgit -c core.pager=cat status works too.

See the main README for the full documentation (including the exit codes and the environment variables) and for the 正體中文說明.

How this package works

• The tarball contains the release binaries for six targets: aarch64-apple-darwin, x86_64-apple-darwin, aarch64-unknown-linux-musl, x86_64-unknown-linux-musl (static, runs on every Linux distribution), aarch64-pc-windows-msvc and x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.
• bin/mgit.js spawns the binary for your platform with inherited stdio, so colours, pagers, Ctrl+C and interactive git prompts behave exactly like a native run.
• There is no postinstall script: installing the package never executes code and works with --ignore-scripts, pnpm, yarn and bun.
• Every release is published from GitHub Actions with provenance, so you can verify where the binaries came from with npm audit signatures.

MGIT_BINARY=/path/to/mgit overrides the bundled binary, which is useful when you build mgit yourself.

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or newer
• git on PATH (mgit is a wrapper around your own git installation)
