mud

mud is CLI utility that allows you to run git commands in multiple repositories. It has multiple powerful filtering tools, native commands with an informative terminal output and support of aliasing. This tool is not limited to git commands only; you can run any commands you wish. However, this tool was primarily designed to be used with git, so each referenced directory should have a .git directory.

Installing

PyPI

pip install mud-git

ArchLinux

paru -S mud-git

For requirements check requirements.txt.

Getting started

1. Run mud config to start an interactive wizard that helps you set the preferred settings. Check the settings section for more details. At the end, a .mudsettings file will appear in your home directory, which you can modify in the future.
2. Navigate to your preferred directory with repositories.
3. Run the mud init command to create a .mudconfig file. This file is important for keeping references to repositories. All repositories in the current directory will be included in .mudconfig.
4. Optional: Run mud set-global to make the current configuration default and accessible from any directory.

All entries are stored in .mudconfig in TSV format. After making your first entry, you can open .mudconfig in a text editor and modify it according to your needs.

Now you're able to run any command. Some examples:

# Fetch all repositories
mud git fetch
# Switching all repositories to a "master" branch
mud git checkout master
# Alternatively, you can filter only repos on non-master branch and switch them to master
mud --not-branch=master git checkout master
# Pull all diverged branches
mud --diverged git pull

Using

Commands

Command	Description
mud set-global	sets the current .mudconfig as a global configuration so it will be used as a fallback configuration to run from any directory.
mud get-config	prints the current .mudconfig location.
mud prune	removes all invalid repositories from the .mudconfig.
mud info/mud i	displays branch divergence and working directory changes.
mud status/mud st	displays working directory changes.
mud log/mud l	displays the latest commit message, its time, and its author.
mud labels/mud lb	displays mud labels across repositories.
mud branches/mud br	displays all branches in repositories.
mud remote-branches/mud rbr	displays all remote branches in repositories.
mud tags/mud t	displays git tags in repositories.

Flags

mud <FLAG> <COMMAND> will execute a bash command across all repositories.

Flag	Description
-n=<str> or --name=<str>	includes repositories that contains provided string.
-l=<label> or --label=<label>	includes repositories with the provided label.
-L=<label> or --not-label=<label>	excludes repositories with the provided label.
-b=<branch> or --branch=<branch>	includes repositories with the provided branch.
-B=<branch> or --not-branch=<branch>	excludes repositories with the provided branch.
-c or --command	explicit command argument. Use this whenever you're trying to run a complex command.
-m or --modified	filters out modified repositories.
-d or --diverged	filters repositories with diverged branches.
-t or --table	toggles the default table view setting for execution.
-a or --async	toggles the asynchronous execution feature.

Example:

# Filters out all repos with the master branch and diverged branches and then runs the pull command.
mud -b=master -d git pull

# Fetches all repositories that are not on the master branch and have the "personal" label, excluding those with the "work" label.
mud -B=master -l=personal -L=work git fetch

Settings

Settings are stored at ~/.config/mud/settings.ini.

Key	Value	Description
run_async	True/False	enables asynchronous commands.
run_table	True/False	enables table view for asynchronous commands. Requires run_async.
nerd_fonts	True/False	enables nerd fonts in the output.
show_borders	True/False	enables borders in the table view.
round_corners	True/False	enables round corners for the table view. Requires show_borders to be enabled.
collapse_paths	True/False	simplifies branch names in the branch view.
display_absolute_paths	True/False	displays absolute paths for directories.
config_path	~/Documents/.mudconfig	this is set by the mud set-global command.

Aliases

You can create your own aliases. To do so, edit the [alias] section of the .mudsettings file. The .mudsettings file has the following aliases by default:

[alias]
to = git checkout
fetch = git fetch
pull = git pull
push = git push

Labeling

You can modify your .mudconfig file using the following commands:

Command	Description
mud add <path>	adds a path without a label.
mud add <path> <label>	adds a path with an optional label.
mud remove <path>	removes the directory with the specified path.
mud remove <path> <label>	removes the label from a directory.
