How to update git repos automatically?

I have a work directory's: D:\Dev\\replay, D:\Dev\\common and D:\Dev\\tools

Usually I start my work day like this in gitbash:

cd d:\dev\\replay
git pull upstream develop
cd d:\dev\\common
git pull upstream develop

etc.

Instead of doing this I want to click on a script file and then get all three updated

How to write a script that do this for me (automatically)?

Using bash: in a file, e.g. "update-repositories"

prefix='d:/dev'
repositories=(replay common tools)
for repository in "${repositories[@]}"
do cd "$prefix/$repository" && git pull upstream develop
done

Execute as

bash update-repositories

Sidenote: Can't judge without knowing the specifics, but this workflow feels a little odd. If you really must work on multiple repositories at once, then they're intrinsically associated you should probably track these associations too (e.g. which version of a tree works with which version of the others). git submodules allow you to do this, and they provide the expected commands to e.g. update all submodules (which are just normal repositories) to the latest version of an arbitrary branch. All you'd need is add a fourth repository with the others as submodules.
