python-sync-git-repos

Purpose

Provides the ability to pass a path to where your directories are located which contain your git repos that you maintain. All directories are scanned and checked for an existing .git subdirectory. If found, the git information is abstracted from, the directory into JSON format and printed to stdout. At the same time, a git fetch is performed within the directory to check for changes upstream. If changes are found, and the active branch is master, a git pull rebase is performed. If you maintain hundreds of git repositories as I do, this provides many benefits and they are not limited to the functionality that is implemented.
