You give `git-xargs`:\n\n1. a script or a command to run\n2. a list of repos\n\nand `git-xargs` will:\n\n1. clone each repo\n1. run your specified script or command against it\n1. commit any changes\n1. open pull requests\n1. provide a detailed report of everything that happened\n\nGit-xargs leverages goroutines to perform the repo-updating work in parallel, so it is very fast.\n\nFor example, have you ever needed to add a particular file across many repos at once? Or to run a search and replace to change your company or product name across 150 repos with one command? What about upgrading Terraform modules to all use the latest syntax? How about adding a CI/CD configuration file, if it doesn\u0027t already exist, or modifying it in place if it does, but only on a subset of repositories you select?\nYou can handle these use cases and many more with a single `git-xargs` command.\n\n## Example: writing a new file to every repo in your GitHub organization\n\nAs an example, let\u0027s use `git-xargs` to create a new file in every repo:\n\n```\ngit-xargs \\\n  --branch-name test-branch \\\n  --github-org \u003cyour-github-org\u003e \\\n  --commit-message \"Create hello-world.txt\" \\\n  touch hello-world.txt\n```\n\nHere\u0027s what it looks like in action:\n",
