bash | Code

The way projects are organized at my current employer often requires me to run the same command in within the first level of sub-directories.

For example, maybe I have to issue this command in ten sub-directories:

git pull --rebase

1	git pull --rebase

This little script I wrote helps.

#!/bin/bash

echo "input command to run on all sub-directories: ";
read command; 
for directory in ./*/; do 
   echo $directory $command; 
   cd $directory; 
   $command; 
   cd -; 
done

#!/bin/bash

echo "input command to run on all sub-directories: ";

read command;

for directory in ./*/; do

echo $directory $command;

cd $directory;

$command;

cd -;

done
