I have a directory of git repositories, and I want to know the state of them without cd-ing into each one. I want a git rundown.
Forked from @mzabriskie's git-status gist, this script provides a colorfully concise two-line output that includes the current branch name, status of modified or untracked files, as well as noting if there are unpushed commits. It looks one level deep for a git repository, and will note if the current folder isn't one.
This works really well for a directory on your machine like ~/user/github/ where you've cloned all your repositories.
Save as a file, for example, git-rundown.sh. Make it executable, then run:
chmod +x git-rundown.sh
./git-rundown.sh [directory]The directory argument is optional and defaults to the current directory.
