First, delete the git repositories which are empty by recursively deleting the folders :

Second, there are bash scripts available for managing many Git Repositories like :

 

Vim

if [ ! "$1" = "" ] ; then

Vim
1
2
3
if [ "$GITREPO" = "" -a -d "$HOME/cm/src" ] ; then
GITREPO="$HOME/cm/src"
fi

Vim
1
if [ "$GITREPO" != "" ] ; then

Vim
1
2
echo "Git repositories found in $GITREPO"
echo "-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-"

Vim
1
DIRS="`/bin/ls -1 $GITREPO`"

Vim
1
for dir in $DIRS ; do

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
if [ -d $GITREPO/$dir/.git ] ; then
echo "$dir -> git $1"
cd $GITREPO/$dir ; git $@
echo
fi

Vim

done
else

Vim
