git-ff-all

Git command for fast-forwarding all branches.

Installation

1. Clone me
2. chmod +x /path/to/git-ff-all.sh (if it's not already)
3. git config --global alias.ff-all '!/path/to/git-ff-all.sh' (make sure to use an absolute path)

Usage

Just run git ff-all in your repository's path, which will do the following:

• fetch & prune all remotes
• fast-forward the checked out branch (if possible)
• for all local branches with an upstream, fast-forward them if possible, without checking them out

$ cd /your/repository
$ git ff-all
