How to change your remote origin URL for all your Git repositories

First cd to the directory where all of your sites are located
```
 $ cd /srv/sites
```

Change all previous urls from url = git@old-server.example.com:foo.git to url = git@cod.example.com:foo.git

 $ cwd=`pwd`; for d in *; do if [[ -e "$cwd/$d/.git/config" ]]; then echo "$cwd/$d/.git/config" | xargs perl -i.bak -wpe 's|(url = git\@old-server(\.example\.com)?):([-_a-z]+)\.git|url = git\@new-server.example.com:$3.git|g'; fi; done

Check to see if the change worked

 $ cwd=`pwd`; for d in *; do if [[ -e "$cwd/$d/.git/config" ]]; then cat "$cwd/$d/.git/config" | grep url; fi; done

If the change worked then you can remove the backup files

 $ cwd=`pwd`; for d in *; do if [[ -e "$cwd/$d/.git/config.bak" ]]; then rm "$cwd/$d/.git/config.bak"; fi; done

If the change didn't work you can run the following to restore the original config. After restoring the original config go back to step 2 and change the perl search and replace so it works.
```
 $ cwd=`pwd`; for d in *; do if [[ -e "$cwd/$d/.git/config.bak" ]]; then cp "$cwd/$d/.git/config.bak" "$cwd/$d/.git/config" | grep url; fi; done
```
