git town walk
git town walk [<command and arguments>] [-a | --all] [--dry-run] [-h | --help] [--(non)-interactive] [-s | --stack] [-v | --verbose]
The walk command (“walking the branch hierarchy”) runs a given command
for all feature branches in your current stack or the entire repo.
Git Town checks out each branch, executes the command,
and then moves to the next branch.
If the command fails or leaves uncommitted changes behind,
git town walk stops so you can fix the problem or commit the generated changes
before continuing.
- use git town continue to retry the command on the current branch
- use git town skip to move on to the next branch
- use git town undo to abort the iteration and undo all changes made
- use git town status reset to abort the iteration and keep all changes made
If no shell command is provided, drops you into an interactive shell for each branch. You can manually run any shell commands, then proceed to the next branch with git town continue
Examples
Consider this stack:
main
\
branch-1
\
* branch-2
\
branch-3
Running git town walk --stack make lint produces this output:
[branch-1] make lint
# ... output of "make lint" for branch-1
[branch-2] make lint
# ... output of "make lint" for branch-2
[branch-3] make lint
# ... output of "make lint" for branch-3
