Hi,
How can I run
git pull origin master
on all sub directories of a directory.
I.E.
I have
/plugins/cms
/plugins/admin
/plugins/chart
etc and I want to update them all at the same time.
(Im running debian linux)

A:
This should happen automatically, so long as cms, admin and chart are all parts of the repository.
A likely issue is that each of these plugins is a git submodule.
Run git help submodule for more information.
EDIT
For doing this in bash:
cd plugins
for f in cms admin chart
do
cd $f && git pull origin master && cd ..
done

No, sorry you misunderstood. Each of those directories are a separate git repository. `/plugins` is not a repository

Ahhh. My mistake. Will give you the bash solution in a minute.

There you go. If you want to return to the parent directory, just run another `cd ..` afterwards.

Or use `pushd` and `popd` or put the group of commands in a subshell (when the subshell exits, you'll be left in the original directory). `(cd dir; for ... done)`

Cool, that works. Now is there a way to pass the ssh password to the bash script and have the script pass it to git/ssh instead of prompting every time for my password?

Out of curiousity - why are aren't you using ssh keys instead?

A:
If all of those directories are separate git repo, you should reference them as submodules.
That means your "origin" would be that remote repo 'plugins' which only contains references to subrepos 'cms', 'admin', 'chart'.
A git pull followed by a git submodule update would achieve what your are looking for.

Note: to clarify, '`plugins`', which is not a git repo at the moment, should be made one, as a parent git repo for the submodules.
