Clone all your repositories and apply sweeping changes.

Installation

pip install all-repos

CLI

All command line interfaces provided by all-repos provide the following options:

• -h / --help: show usage information
• -C CONFIG_FILENAME / --config-filename CONFIG_FILENAME: use a non-default config file (the default all-repos.json can be changed with the environment variable ALL_REPOS_CONFIG_FILENAME).
• --color {auto,always,never}: use color in output (default auto).

all-repos-complete [options]

Add git clone tab completion for all-repos repositories.

Requires jq to function.

Add to .bash_profile:

eval "$(all-repos-complete -C ~/.../all-repos.json --bash)"

all-repos-clone [options]

Clone all the repositories into the output_dir. If run again, this command will update existing repositories.

Options:

Sample invocations:

• all-repos-clone: clone the repositories specified in all-repos.json
• all-repos-clone -C all-repos2.json: clone using a non-default config filename.

all-repos-find-files [options] PATTERN

Similar to a distributed git ls-files | grep -P PATTERN.

Arguments:

• PATTERN: the python regex to match.

Options:

• --repos-with-matches: only print repositories with matches.

Sample invocations:

Writing your own source

First create a module. This module must have the following api:

A Settings class

This class will receive keyword arguments for all values in the source_settings dictionary.

An easy way to implement the Settings class is by using a namedtuple:

Settings = collections.namedtuple('Settings', ('required_thing', 'optional'))
Settings.__new__.__defaults__ = ('optional default value',)

In this example, the required_thing setting is a required setting whereas optional may be omitted (and will get a default value of 'optional default value').

def list_repos(settings: Settings) -> Dict[str, str]: callable

This callable will be passed an instance of your Settings class. It must return a mapping from {repo_name: repository_url}. The repo_name is the directory name inside the output_dir.

Push modules

all_repos.push.merge_to_master

Merges the branch directly to the default branch and pushes. The commands it runs look roughly like this:

git checkout main
git pull
git merge --no-ff $BRANCH
git push origin HEAD

Optional push_settings

• fast_forward (default: false): if true, perform a fast-forward merge (--ff-only). If false, create a merge commit (--no-ff).

all_repos.push.github_pull_request

Pushes the branch to origin and then creates a github pull request for the branch.

Required push_settings

• api_key: the api key which the user will log in as.
  • Use the settings tab to create a personal access token.
  • The minimum scope required to function is public_repo, though you'll need repo to access private repositories.
• api_key_env: alternatively API key can also be passed via an environment variable
• username: the github username you will log in as.

Optional push_settings

• base_url (default: https://api.github.com) is the base URL to the Github API to use (for Github Enterprise support set this to https://{your_domain}/api/v3).
• draft (default: false) if true will open the pull request as a draft.
• fork (default: false): (if applicable) a fork will be created and pushed to instead of the upstream repository. The pull request will then be made to the upstream repository.

all_repos.push.bitbucket_server_pull_request

Pushes the branch to origin and then creates a Bitbucket pull request for the branch.

Required push_settings

• base_url: the Bitbucket server URL (eg bitbucket.domain.com)
• username: the Bitbucket username you will log in as.
• app_password: the authentication method for the above user to login with
  • Create an application password within your account settings.
  • We need the scope: Repositories -> Read

all_repos.push.gitlab_pull_request

Pushes the branch to origin and then creates a GitLab pull request for the branch.

Required push_settings

• base_url: the GitLab server URL (eg https://{gitlab.domain.com}/api/v4)
• api_key: the api key which the user will log in as.
  • Use the settings tab (eg https://{gitlab.domain.com}/-/profile/personal_access_tokens) to create a personal access token.
  • We need the scope: write_repository.
• api_key_env: alternatively API key can also be passed via an environment variable

all_repos.push.readonly

Does nothing.

push_settings

There are no configurable settings for readonly.

Writing your own push module

First create a module. This module must have the following api:

A Settings class

This class will receive keyword arguments for all values in the push_settings dictionary.

def push(settings: Settings, branch_name: str) -> None:

This callable will be passed an instance of your Settings class. It should deploy the branch. The function will be called with the root of the repository as the cwd.

Writing an autofixer

An autofixer applies a change over all repositories.

all-repos provides several api functions to write your autofixers with:

all_repos.autofix_lib.add_fixer_args

def add_fixer_args(parser):

Adds the autofixer cli options.

Options:

• --dry-run: show what would happen but do not push.
• -i / --interactive: interactively approve / deny fixes.
• -j JOBS / --jobs JOBS: how many concurrent jobs will be used to complete the operation. Specify 0 or -1 to match the number of cpus. (default 1).
• --limit LIMIT: maximum number of repos to process (default: unlimited).
• --author AUTHOR: override commit author. This is passed directly to git commit. An example: --author='Herp Derp <herp.derp@umich.edu>'.
• --repos [REPOS [REPOS ...]]: run against specific repositories instead. This is especially useful with xargs autofixer ... --repos. This can be used to specify repositories which are not managed by all-repos.

all_repos.autofix_lib.from_cli

def from_cli(args, *, find_repos, msg, branch_name):

Parse cli arguments and produce autofix_lib primitives. Returns (repos, config, commit, autofix_settings). This is handled separately from fix to allow for fixers to adjust arguments.

• find_repos: callback taking Config as a positional argument.
• msg: commit message.
• branch_name: identifier used to construct the branch name.

all_repos.autofix_lib.fix

def fix(
        repos, *,
        apply_fix,
        check_fix=_noop_check_fix,
        config: Config,
        commit: Commit,
        autofix_settings: AutofixSettings,
):

Apply the fix.

• apply_fix: callback which will be called once per repository. The cwd when the function is called will be the root of the repository.

all_repos.autofix_lib.run

def run(*cmd, **kwargs):

Wrapper around subprocess.run which prints the command it will run. Unlike subprocess.run, this defaults check=True unless explicitly disabled.

Example autofixer

The trivial autofixer is as follows:

import argparse

from all_repos import autofix_lib

def find_repos(config):
    return []

def apply_fix():
    pass

def main(argv=None):
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    autofix_lib.add_fixer_args(parser)
    args = parser.parse_args(argv)

    repos, config, commit, autofix_settings = autofix_lib.from_cli(
        args, find_repos=find_repos, msg='msg', branch_name='branch-name',
    )
    autofix_lib.fix(
        repos, apply_fix=apply_fix, config=config, commit=commit,
        autofix_settings=autofix_settings,
    )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    raise SystemExit(main())

You can find some more involved examples in all_repos/autofix:

• all_repos.autofix.azure_pipelines_autoupdate: upgrade pinned azure pipelines template repository references.
• all_repos.autofix.pre_commit_autoupdate: runs pre-commit autoupdate.
• all_repos.autofix.pre_commit_autopep8_migrate: migrates autopep8-wrapper from pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks to mirrors-autopep8.
• all_repos.autofix.pre_commit_cache_dir: updates the cache directory for travis-ci / appveyor for pre-commit 1.x.
• all_repos.autofix.pre_commit_flake8_migrate: migrates flake8 from pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks to pycqa/flake8.
• all_repos.autofix.pre_commit_migrate_config: runs pre-commit migrate-config.
• all_repos.autofix.setup_py_upgrade: runs setup-py-upgrade and then setup-cfg-fmt to migrate setup.py to setup.cfg.
