run-all

run-all is a command-line tool that allows you to execute commands across multiple directories based on a customizable directory pattern. It is designed for developers and sysadmins who need to run repetitive tasks in multiple project folders, offering options to exclude directories, run commands in parallel, and more.

Features

• Directory Pattern Matching: Run commands across directories that match a specified pattern.
• Parallel Execution: Execute commands in multiple directories simultaneously to save time.
• Conditional Execution: Require a specific file or folder to be present in a directory for it to be included.
• Exclude Directories: Specify directories or patterns to exclude from execution.
• Dry Run: Test what will happen without actually running the commands.
• Error Handling: Optionally continue running commands in other directories even if one command fails.

Installation

Clone the repository and build the tool:

git clone https://github.com/clovis818/run-all.git

Examples

1. Git Status in All Go Modules

Run git status in all directories under /projects/api/ that contain a go.mod file:

run-all -dir-pattern="/projects/api/*" -require="go.mod" -parallel -command="git status"

2. Update Poetry in All Python Packages

Run poetry update in all directories under /projects/api/*/test:

run-all -dir-pattern="/projects/api/*/test" -parallel -command="poetry update"

3. Clean Up Logs in All Log Directories

Remove all .log files in directories matching /var/logs/*, excluding directories named backup:

run-all -dir-pattern="/var/logs/*" -exclude="backup" -command="rm *.log"

4. Perform a Dry Run for Deployment

See what would happen if you deploy to all project directories, without actually executing the commands:

run-all -dir-pattern="/apps/*" -require="Dockerfile" -dry-run -command="docker-compose up -d"
