Updatr

A command-line tool to update multiple project directories at once. It automatically detects the programming language of each project and executes bash commands according to the project programming language.

How it Works

To use updatr you must provide a directory containing your projects and a configuration file, for example:

updatr --path="~/Personal/Projects" --config="~/path/to/config.toml"

The config.toml file must contain the configuration(commands), for each programming language or project, that will be updated in that directory.

If no configuration file is found, updatr will not execute any commands to avoid unexpected behaviors.

Installation

You can install the tool using the following command:

go install github.com/tiagovaldrich/updatr@latest

Or you can clone the repository and build the project.

make build

And then you can execute the updatr binary.

./updatr --path /path/to/projects --config /path/to/config.toml

Usage

updatr --path /path/to/projects --config /path/to/config.toml

Arguments

• --path: Path to the directory containing your projects (default: executable directory)
• --config: Path to the configuration file (default: config.toml in the executable directory)

Configuration

Create a config.toml file with the commands to be executed for each programming language. Example:

[go]
commands = [
    "git stash",
    "git checkout master",
    "git pull origin master",
    "make install",
]
ignore_projects = ["project5", "project9"]

[nodejs]
commands = [
    "git stash",
    "git checkout master",
    "git pull origin master",
    "npm install",
]
ignore_projects = ["project1", "project2"]

How it Works

1. The tool scans the provided directory for subdirectories
2. For each subdirectory, it detects the programming language based on project files:
   • go.mod for Go projects
   • package.json for NodeJS projects
3. Once detected, it executes the configured commands for that language in sequence
4. If no configuration is found for a language, it won't run any command to avoid unexpected behaviors
