I tried this and it kinda works. The fetch actually fails but pwd is executed correctly

  "ffwd": {
    "cmd": "git fetch ; pwd",
    "allow_all": true,
    "help": "fast forward the git repos using custom script"
  }

sorry it doesn't work, the repo path is printed out by default

Maybe there is no workaround; we will need to copy the async logic to gita shell

Hello,

I'm using gita since a while now and I find it very helpful in mutli repo projects.

to rejoin s7jones issue, I also tried the custom command fetchcrt in the readme.md but it didn't work also. However some simple command like "git status" works fine.

Is there any workaround please, I'm interested in running shell commands.
Also it will be intersecting if external commands can take arguments e.g. gita custom_cmd agr1 agr2

Regards,

@Ismailou just curious, what kind of shell command do you want to run in each repo?

[Ismailou]

what

I tried the command of fetchcrt example in the readme

	"fetchcrt":
	{
	  "cmd": "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD | xargs git fetch --prune upstream",
	  "allow_all": true,
	  "shell": true,
	  "help": "fetch current branch only"
	}

I tried it on Windows 10 machine in bash, powershell and git Bash the same result.

Regards,
