Script to change footer for sites in multiple git repos
I have several static sites and the content is in separate GitHub repositories. Each site has a footer with a copyright date. I wrote a script to update this copyright date.
# need the gh cli and jq brew install gh jq ORG=my-org # get names only of all site repos gh repo list --topic website --json name | jq ".[].name" -r > /tmp/repos.txt for i in `cat /tmp/repos.txt`; do echo $i # checkout each repo to local cd /tmp gh repo clone $ORG/$i cd /tmp/$i # change the copyright footer and commit and store in a temp file sed "s/2023/2024/g" index.html > index2.html # swap into the correct file mv index2.html index.html # commit and push git commit -am "Extend copyright into 2024" git push cd /tmp # cleanup the local repo rm -rf /tmp/$i done; # cleanup the list of repos rm -rf /tmp/repos.txt
I learned about sponge
a few days after using this script.
