Multi-Repository Orchestrator

Manage development workflows seamlessly across multiple Git repositories.

Overview

Many modern projects span multiple repositories:

• Microservices architectures
• Frontend + Backend + Shared libraries
• Multi-package monorepos split across repos
• Infrastructure + Application code
• Documentation + Code repositories

This skill provides tools and patterns to orchestrate changes, commits, and workflows across multiple repositories as if they were one.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Working with microservices split across repos
• Maintaining frontend/backend in separate repositories
• Managing shared libraries used by multiple repos
• Coordinating infrastructure and application code
• Synchronizing changes across dependent projects
• Running tests across multiple repositories
• Deploying multi-repo applications
• Maintaining consistency across project family

Repository Discovery

Auto-Discovery Pattern

#!/bin/bash
# discover-repos.sh - Find all related repositories

BASE_DIR="${1:-.}"
WORKSPACE_FILE=".workspace"

# Find all git repositories
find "$BASE_DIR" -name ".git" -type d | while read git_dir; do
    REPO_DIR=$(dirname "$git_dir")
    REPO_NAME=$(basename "$REPO_DIR")

    # Get remote URL
    cd "$REPO_DIR"
    REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || echo "none")

    echo "$REPO_NAME|$REPO_DIR|$REMOTE_URL"
done | tee "$WORKSPACE_FILE"

echo ""
echo "Discovered $(wc -l < $WORKSPACE_FILE) repositories"
echo "Workspace file: $WORKSPACE_FILE"

Manual Workspace Configuration

# workspace.yaml - Define multi-repo workspace

workspace:
  name: my-microservices
  base_dir: ~/projects

repositories:
  - name: api-gateway
    path: ./api-gateway
    url: https://github.com/org/api-gateway
    category: backend

  - name: user-service
    path: ./user-service
    url: https://github.com/org/user-service
    category: backend

  - name: frontend
    path: ./frontend
    url: https://github.com/org/frontend
    category: frontend

  - name: shared-lib
    path: ./shared-lib
    url: https://github.com/org/shared-lib
    category: library

  - name: infrastructure
    path: ./infrastructure
    url: https://github.com/org/infrastructure
    category: infra

Synchronized Branching

Create Branches Across Repos

#!/bin/bash
# sync-branch-create.sh - Create same branch in multiple repos

Best Practices

✅ DO

1. Use workspace files to define repository collections
2. Batch operations for efficiency
3. Check status before batch commits
4. Test before pushing across all repos
5. Use retry logic for network operations
6. Maintain consistency in branch naming
7. Track dependencies between repositories
8. Document relationships in workspace config

❌ DON'T

1. Don't assume all repos need same changes
2. Don't skip individual repo status checks
3. Don't force push without careful consideration
4. Don't ignore test failures in any repo
5. Don't commit unrelated changes together
6. Don't break cross-repo dependencies
7. Don't forget to update shared libraries first
8. Don't over-parallelize (3-5 concurrent max)
