git-summary

git-summary summarizes the status of all cloned git repositories founds within a directory (or your entire system). See an example screenshot below:

Currently supported operating systems:

• Linux
• MacOS
• Cygwin
• SunOS
• Alpine based containers on Google Cloud Platform - Container Optimised OS (Chromium OS)

Requirements

Linux

• sudo apt-get install gawk

MacOS

• brew install coreutils

Alpine based containers on Google Cloud Platform (Chromium OS)

• apk add gawk findutils

xargs in Chromium OS does not support -L option, findutils puts an xargs with support for -L

Installation (on Linux-based machines)

Clone this repo somewhere and alias the script by adding this line to ~\.bashrc (modify $PATH to point to the location of the cloned repo on your machine):

alias git-summary='<PATH>/git-summary/git-summary'

Usage

General usage:

git-summary [options] path

path is optional and the current directory will be used if left blank.

Options

• -h: Print help and exit.
• -l: Local summary lookup. Checks only local changes which is faster as there is no need to fetch the remote.
• -d: Deep lookup. Look for any git repos within the entire current directory tree. Can be slowish for large trees.
• -q: Quiet mode. Only print outdated repos.
• -s: Sorted output. (Slower as it runs sequentially to avoid race conditions).

Branch status

Currently, git-summary does not list multiple branches per repo. However, for single repos git-branch-status does this beautifully.
