A super simple python-based command-line tool to keep track of your git repositories.
sudo apt install python-git
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/danieldugas/git-watch.git
echo "export PATH=\"\$HOME/git-watch:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
That's it.
git-watch --no-fetch
Add the paths to your favorite repositories in the file git_repos_to_watch.txt, and git-watch will keep track of them too.
git-watch looks for git_repos_to_watch.txt in your home folder, and will create it if it doesn't exist.
Without this option, git-watch udpates the upstream information for your repositories, which can take a few seconds. You might be in a hurry, and a few seconds are worth sparing, sometimes.
You're in your new favorite git repository, and want to quickly add it to the git_repos_to_watch.txt file? No hassle, let git-watch do it for you: git-watch --add-this-repo.
Do you firmly believe in the saying, 'no news is good news'? Add this option, and only information about unsynced repositories will be printed.
"We are all made of stars" - Moby
adding fuzzy paths to your git_repos_to_watch.txt file tells git-watch to find all git repos in a certain directory.
For example "~/*" will add all git repos inside your home folder, without recursion.
You can go deeper by adding fuzzy subdirectories (for example "~/*/*").
Like grandpa always said, "enjoy yourself, but be aware that it can be inefficient to parse large directories".
It's okay, git-watch understands and loves you anyways.
To remove it from your computer, delete ~/git_repos_to_watch.txt,
remove the export PATH="$HOME/git-watch:$PATH" line in ~/.bashrc,
and delete the ~/git-watch folder.
Do-whatever-the-heck-you-want, but be nice about it.
