Batch Update Multiple Git Repositories

Steven Word · Oct 30, 2014 · Leave a Comment

This is a small shell script I use to batch update all of my git repositories that are children of a particular folder on my filesystem.

First create a single common folder to checkout all of your projects. We’ll use vc.

mkdir ~/vc; cd ~/vc

Then place the following file inside the folder.

Now checkout your repositories into subfolder.

git clone https://github.com/stevenkword/WP-Present.git wp-present

You should now end up with a folder ~/vc/wp-present/ and we can test our update script.

sh ~/vc/update-git.sh

The script should traverse all of the subfolders and issue git pull commands in each.

BuddyPress: Disable the Public Members Directory

Steven Word · Jun 11, 2011 · 4 Comments

The following code snippet can be used to disable access to the default BuddyPress Members Directory. Simply add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file.

//Disable members directory
function disable_directory_members() {
 global $bp, $wp_query;
 $bp_is_directory = false;
 bp_core_redirect( $bp_root_domain );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_action_directory_members', 'disable_directory_members', 2 );

Update – 11/17/2011: As of BuddyPress v1.5 this post this method is deprecated. You can now achieve this same result by unpublishing the ‘Members’ page from the ‘Pages menu in the admin area.
