Windows for loop through dirs, run git pull?
3
From Bash it's simple:
for d in *; do GIT_DIR="$d/.git" git pull; done
Or:
for d in *; do GIT_DIR="$PWD/$d/.git" git pull; done
However from Windows Command Prompt it's not quite as simple. I've tried:
for /D %i in (*.*) do cd "%i" && git pull
for /D %i in (*.*) do cd "<absolute_path>%i" && git pull
for /D %i in (*.*) do set GIT_DIR="<absolute_path>%i.git git pull"
for /D %i in (*.*) do set GIT_DIR="<absolute_path>%i.git && git pull"
But none work. Always getting one of these errors:
fatal: unable to access '"repo-name/.git" /config': Invalid argument
The system cannot find the path specified.

Couldn't this be a simple one-liner in Powershell?
Example:
Resolve-Path D:workrepos*.git | foreach { cd $_; git pull }

Powershell is the de facto shell on Windows. Cmd will be deprecated in the future. There's no use in trying to cobble something together in cmd when there's an object oriented Windows shell right at your fingertips which makes everything so much easier. -my two cents :-)

The Resolve-Path command as I posted it automatically gets all the folders in repos and then looks for a folder called .git in each of them. That's where you want to cd into according to your code. It's a pretty elegant solution. If you remove the pipe and everything after it you'll see that it gives you all of the .git folders.

I suggest to use git pull <repository> syntax instead on Git Shell with cmd.exe default shell setting, and look up setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for variable initialization (set) inside for loop.

Enter powershell into Explorer address field of your base folder and hit enter. Then execute:
Get-ChildItem . -exclude *.ps1,temp,*.txt | foreach { cd $_; Write-Host "`r`n" $_; Git pull '-v' }
Use this approach, if Resolve-Path won't work for you.

Enter powershell into Explorer address field of your base folder and hit enter. Then execute:
