mani is a CLI tool that helps you manage multiple repositories. It's useful when you are working with microservices, multi-project systems, many libraries or just a bunch of repositories and want a central place for pulling all repositories and running commands over them.

You specify repository and commands in a config file and then run the commands over all or a subset of the repositories.

1. Clone the repo
2. Build and run the executable

   make build && ./dist/mani

Run the following command inside a directory containing your git repositories:

$ mani init

This will generate two files:

• mani.yaml: contains projects and custom tasks. Any sub-directory that has a .git inside it will be included (add the flag --auto-discovery=false to turn off this feature)
• .gitignore: includes the projects specified in mani.yaml file. To opt out, use mani init --vcs=none.

It can be helpful to initialize the mani repository as a git repository so that anyone can easily download the mani repository and run mani sync to clone all repositories and get the same project setup as you.

# List all projects
$ mani list projects

# Count number of files in each project in parallel
$ mani exec --all --output table --parallel 'find . -type f | wc -l'
