Gitnag

Gitnag is a primitive tool that reminds you to keep your Git repositories up to date. Specifically, it checks whether the worktree is clean and whether there are any commits that should be pushed upstream. It also automatically fast-forwards clean repositories from upstream if possible. It displays issues using the default notification method of your graphical environment.

Run the program as follows:

gitnag -config gitnag.json

where the configuration file gitnag.json specifies the directories that gitnag should search as a JSON file of the form

{
    "Directories": {
        "/directory/one": {},
        "/directory/two": {},
    }
}

To be most effective, run gitnag as a cron job or similar.
