Morning routine - updating git repos

• Get to work
• Clock in
• Make coffee
• Fetch latest changes from git....

Going through a half dozen repositories that I regularly interact with involves far more typing than I care to do repeatedly.

What I want is to cycle through each repository and do the following

• git fetch --prune
• If I'm on the default branch (usually master or develop) and have no local changes then just git pull straight away

Sounds perfect for automation! PowerShell to the rescue, leaving time to savour the coffee

	function Get-Changes {
	Push-Location ".."
	$branch= &git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
	Write-Host "Current branch: " $branch
	if ($defaultBranches -Contains $branch) {
	if(git status --porcelain | Where-Object {$_ -match '^\?\?'}){
	# untracked files exist
	Write-Host "There are untracked files"
	Write-Host "Current branch: " $branch
	}
	elseif(git status --porcelain | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch '^\?\?'}) {
	# uncommitted changes
	Write-Host "There are uncommitted changes"
	Write-Host "Current branch: " $branch
	}
	else {
	# tree is clean
	$branch= &git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
	$head = &git rev-parse HEAD
	$origin = &git rev-parse origin/HEAD
	if ($head -ne $origin) {
	Write-Host "Pulling changes on branch " $branch
	git pull
	} else {
	Write-Host "Already up to date"
	}
	}
	} else{
	Write-Host "Not on master/develop, will not pull changes automatically"
	}
	Pop-Location
	}
	$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path . -Filter .git -Recurse -Depth 1 -Force -Directory |
	Select-Object -expandproperty fullname
	$defaultBranches = ("master", "develop")
	Foreach ($i in $folders)
	{
	Write-Host "Git fetch: " $i
	Push-Location $i
	git fetch --prune
	Get-Changes
	Pop-Location
	}
