How it works

git2know uses

• mlocate to create a list of all git repositories on the local machine

mlocate

The application creates an mlocate database in your default cache directory ($HOME/.cache/mlocate.db). This database is updated on every run. The way mlocate works only changes will be comitted to the database on each run so the first run of the application might take some seconds or minutes depending on the size of your home directory. The mlocate database is not limited to this application and only stores an index of all files contained in your home directory. You are free to use this database with other applications relying on mlocate.

Goals

• Get an overview of all git repositories on the system.
• Provide a query language for filtering repositories and finding information.
