Today's Daily Double is... a snippet!

(this is pulled from a larger document outlining the Raycast scripts I have set up. I set these up as Raycast Utilities snippets but you can do whatever you want with it, that is not my job)

👶 Git pull children 👶

(you provide parent directory name, then raycast pulls main for every child directory that is a Git repository and runs pnpm install )

( basically it saves a couple of steps when you have to get all of the up-to-date things for a number of repos and you co-locate those repos in one parent directory )

• more detail
  • Raycast command (~/raycast-scripts/git- pull-children.sh) takes one required text input: a directory name or path.
  • It resolves the path (supports absolute, ~/, or names like ex. multiplatto under your home), verifies the folder exists, then finds every immediate child directory that has a .git folder.
  • For each repo it fetches origin/main, hard-resets local changes, ensures the local main branch exists (creating it from origin/main if needed), pulls origin/main (--ff-only), and runs pnpm install when package.json is present and pnpm is on PATH.
  • Output is shown inline in Raycast (schemaVersion 1, fullOutput mode) so teammates see the per‑repo progress / warnings at a glance.
  • To use: open Raycast (⌥ + Space) → “Git Pull Children” → type the parent directory (e.g., tellytelly/multiplatto) → press Enter; share the script by telling others to drop it into their Raycast Scripts folder and import it via Raycast’s Extensions → Scripts
