You Almost Never Need to Change Every Repository

  • There have been a lot of patches that tweak the same thing across many, many repositories.
  • Standardizations are great, but if you’re making the same change to more than a few repositories, we should be looking at another way to have that change applied.
  • If you find yourself making the same change over and over in a lot of projects, start a conversation on the dev mailing list first.
