Git Scripts

Powerful scripts for git. All scripts should be saved into /usr/local/bin/.

clone

Will clone one or all repositories of a specified author, using either HTTPS or SSH.

Clone Usage

clone [METHOD] [AUTHOR] [REPO]

Arguments are positional and interpreted in this order:

  1. METHOD — https or ssh

  2. AUTHOR — GitHub username or organization

  3. REPO — Repository name, or ALL to clone all repositories

All arguments are optional. If any are missing, the script will prompt for them interactively.

If REPO is omitted or left empty when prompted, it defaults to ALL (clone all repositories for the given author).

Clone Examples

clone https torvalds linux         # Clone a specific repository using HTTPS.

clone https linuxmint ALL          # Clone all repositories from a user or organization.

clone ssh NikoboiNFTB GitHub-Tools # Clone a specific repository using SSH.

clone                              # Fully interactive mode (you will be prompted for all inputs).

pull

Pulls all remote changes to one or more local repositories.

Pull Usage

Just run pull in any folder.

The script will seek out all repositories in all subfolders using find . -name ".git" and then extrapolating the repository path from that.

Pull Examples

~/GitHub/NikoboiNFTB/GitHub-Tools$ pull

~/GitHub/NikoboiNFTB$ pull

~/GitHub$ pull

push

Pushes all local changes to one or more remote repositories.

Push Usage

Just run push in any folder. A commit comment can be added as an argument in quotations, or submit when prompted.

The script will seek out all repositories in all subfolders using find . -name ".git" and then extrapolating the repository path from that.

Push Examples

~/GitHub/NikoboiNFTB/GitHub-Tools$ push "Change feature x"

~/GitHub/NikoboiNFTB$ push
Enter commit message (Enter to use 'Update'): Mass update.

~/GitHub$ push "This will not work for some repos because not owner"

status

Runs git add . and git status. Works same as pull and push.

toggle-ssh

Toggles SSH for GitHub. Requires SSH key to be saved as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github and ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_github.pub. Will move both keys to ~/.ssh.bak/ and remote them using ssh-add -d.
