git grep and xargs in Windows Batch file?


I am trying to create a Windows friendly .bat implementation of the following .sh script. The top few lines are all fine, just add SET and cd is fine. git grep is fine, however, xargs isn't... What would the git grep | xargs logic look like in .bat ?

INFINITY=10000

TOPDIR=$(pwd)
METEOR_DIR="./code"
cd "$METEOR_DIR"

# Call git grep to find all js files with the appropriate comment tags,
# and only then pass it to JSDoc which will parse the JS files.
# This is a whole lot faster than calling JSDoc recursively.
git grep -al "@summary" | xargs -L ${INFINITY} -t \
    "$TOPDIR/node_modules/.bin/jsdoc" \
    -t "$TOPDIR/jsdoc/docdata-jsdoc-template" \
    -c "$TOPDIR/jsdoc/jsdoc-conf.json" \
    2>&1 | grep -v 'WARNING: JSDoc does not currently handle'

Solution

  • Any recent Git for Windows release has more than 200 Linux commands packaged in it.

    Add to your PATH <path\to\Git\usr\bin and you will have xargs.

    > dir xargs.exe
