`git nested run`

Run a git command in the worktree of a nested repository.

git nested run <subdir> <git-command> [<args>...]

What it does

run runs git -C <worktree> <git-command> <args> in the worktree that branch made. You do not need to change folders.

Everything after <subdir> goes to git as it is, options too. git’s output and exit code are passed through. Interactive commands, such as a pager or git add -p, work too.

Arguments

Argument	Meaning
`<subdir>`	the nested repository
`<git-command> [<args>...]`	the git command to run

Examples

git nested branch ext/lib
git nested run ext/lib log --oneline
git nested run ext/lib status
git nested run ext/lib rebase -i HEAD~3
git nested run ext/lib push

Notes

There has to be a worktree. Make it with git nested branch <subdir>.
The worktree is found by branch, so branch -d <dir> works too.
