Nice @guychouk !
Yours does lend itself much easier to implementation in parallel with a tool like GNU parallel like so:
find . -type d -maxdepth 1 | parallel zsh -c 'echo "\u1b[31m{}\033[m" && cd {} && git pull'
I do prefer the longer safer version though 😄
@J00MZ Oooohh I love the use of parallel
!
Thank you, adding it to my alias!
Make sure to approve the citation on first use using parallel --will-cite

each one, showing the sub-directory in red:
