I'm trying clone down git repo's concurrently in different Mac terminal tabs as they take a long time to clone down.
I've tried a lot of variations of the below but can't seem to get each separate clone and then following commands in 3 separate terminal tabs, running at the same time, any ideas on how I can change the below to make this happen without installing something external such as ttab?
cwd=$(pwd)
osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to activate' -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell process "Terminal" to keystroke "t" using command down' -e 'tell application "Terminal" to do script "cd '$cwd' && git clone git@github.com:me/myrepo1.git && cd myrepo1 && git pull && nvm use && npm install &" in selected tab of the front window' &
osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to activate' -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell process "Terminal" to keystroke "t" using command down' -e 'tell application "Terminal" to do script "cd '$cwd' && git clone git@github.com:me/myrepo3.git && cd myrepo2 && git pull && nvm use && npm install" in selected tab of the front window' &
git clone git@github.com:me/myrepo3.git && cd myrepo3 && git pull && nvm use && npm install
This will do it.
#!/bin/bash
declare -a repos=("myrepo1" "myrepo2" "myrepo3")
me="git@github.com:me"
pwd=`pwd`
for i in "${repos[@]}"
do
osascript -e "tell application \"Terminal\"" -e "tell application \"System Events\" to keystroke \"t\" using {command down}" -e "do script \"cd $pwd; git clone $me/$i.git && cd $i && git pull && nvm use && npm install\" in front window" -e "end tell" > /dev/null
done
Notes:
git pull after cloning a repo, but I kept it in the script anyways since it doesn't do any harm.nvm use, make sure that you have an .nvmrc file with your specified node version in the root of each project. Otherwise nvm use will not work.
