Batch Update All Your Vendor Repositories - No Fluff Just Stuff

Batch Update All Your Vendor Repositories

Posted by: Mike Girouard on January 24, 2012

I’ve got just shy of 100 vendor repositories that I pull from for my side projects and client work. Updating them all has become quite a bother so I wrote this little guy to save me some time.

It’s certainly not perfect, and sometimes falls over, but this does the trick. This handles both Git and SVN repositories, but I’m sure with a few extra lines you can make it work for whatever SCM you prefer to use.
