The "all" command:

The ~/.fossil file records the location of all repositories for a user. This command performs certain operations on all repositories that can be useful before or after a period of disconnected operation.

On Win32 systems, the file is named "_fossil" and is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%, %APPDATA% or %HOMEPATH%.

Available operations are:

backup

Backup all repositories. The argument must be the name of a directory into which all backup repositories are written.

cache

Manages the cache used for potentially expensive web pages. Any additional arguments are passed on verbatim to the cache command.

changes

Shows all local check-outs that have uncommitted changes. This operation has no additional options.

clean

Delete all "extra" files in all local check-outs. Extreme caution should be exercised with this command because its effects cannot be undone. Use of the --dry-run option to carefully review the local check-outs to be operated upon and the --whatif option to carefully review the files to be deleted beforehand is highly recommended. The command line options supported by the clean command itself, if any are present, are passed along verbatim.

config

Only the "config pull AREA" command works.

dbstat

Run the "dbstat" command on all repositories.

extras

Shows "extra" files from all local check-outs. The command line options supported by the extra command itself, if any are present, are passed along verbatim.

fts-config

Run the "fts-config" command on all repositories.

git CMD

Do the "git export" or "git status" command (whichever is specified by CMD) on all repositories for which a Git mirror has been previously established.

info

Run the "info" command on all repositories.

pull

Run a "pull" operation on all repositories. Only the --verbose and --share-links options are supported.

push

Run a "push" on all repositories. Only the --verbose option is supported.

rebuild

Rebuild on all repositories. The command line options supported by the rebuild command itself, if any are present, are passed along verbatim. The --force option is not supported.

remote

Show remote hosts for all repositories.

repack

Look for extra compression in all repositories.

sync

Run a "sync" on all repositories. Only the --verbose and --unversioned and --share-links options are supported.

set[tings]

Run the "settings" command on all repositories. This command is useful for settings like "max-loadavg" which you usually want to be the same across all repositories on a server.

unset

Run the "unset" command on all repositories

server

Run the "server" commands on all repositories. The root URI gives a listing of all repos.

ui

Run the "ui" command on all repositories. Like "server" but bind to the loopback TCP address only, enable the --localauth option and automatically launch a web-browser

whatis

Run the "whatis" command on all repositories. Only show output for repositories that have a match.

In addition, the following maintenance operations are supported:

add

Add all the repositories named to the set of repositories tracked by Fossil. Normally Fossil is able to keep up with this list by itself, but sometimes it can benefit from this hint if you rename repositories.

ignore

Arguments are repositories that should be ignored by subsequent clean, extras, list, pull, push, rebuild, and sync operations. The -c|--ckout option causes the listed local check-outs to be ignored instead.

list | ls

Display the location of all repositories. The -c|--ckout option causes all local check-outs to be listed instead.

Repositories are automatically added to the set of known repositories when one of the following commands are run against the repository: clone, info, pull, push, or sync. Even previously ignored repositories are added back to the list of repositories by these commands.

Options:

--dry-run

Just display commands that would have run

--showfile

Show the repository or check-out being operated upon

--stop-on-error

Halt immediately if any subprocess fails

-s|--stop

Shorthand for "--stop-on-error"
