gfold is a CLI-driven application that helps you keep track of multiple Git repositories.
sh
user at hostname in ~/git
% gfold
great-journey unclean main git@github.com:truth/great-journey.git
installation-zero bare main https://github.com/the-ark/installation-zero.git
sierra unpushed dev https://github.com/forward-unto-dawn/sierra.git
spark clean issue343 git@github.com:guilty/spark.git
tartarus unclean delta git@github.com:covenant/tartarus.git
voi clean main https://github.com/earth/voi.git
This app displays relevant information for multiple Git repositories in one, or multiple, directories. While this tool might seem limited in scope and purpose, that is by design.
It prints each repository in alphabetical order, and pads each result based on the longest directory, branch, and status string.
By default, gfold looks at every Git repository via traversal from the current working directory.
However, if you would like to target another directory, you can pass that path (relative or absolute) as the first argument.
You can use macOS Homebrew or Linuxbrew to install the tap.
sh
brew install nickgerace/gfold/gfold
You can use a Linux distribution that supports installing packages from the AUR to install: gfold (builds from source) and/or gfold-git (VCS/development package). Many people choose to use an AUR helper, such as yay or paru, in order to install their AUR packages.
sh
yay -S gfold
paru -S gfold
You can use cargo to install the crate on almost any platform.
sh
cargo install gfold
Keeping the crate up to date is easy with cargo-update.
sh cargo install cargo-update cargo install-update -a
It is highly recommended to run strip against the binary on compatible systems to reduce executable size.
The following script was tested on macOS and Linux systems:
sh
GFOLD=$(command -v gfold) && [ "$GFOLD" != "" ] && du -h $GFOLD && strip $GFOLD && du -h $GFOLD
The above script will execute silently if
gfoldis not installed.
If you do not know where gfold was installated to, you can try the following:
which command on compatible platforms (so long as gfold is in your PATH)cargo install settings (if you installed with cargo install)Pass in the -h, or --help, flag to see all the options for using this application.
sh
gfold
gfold ..
gfold $HOME
gfold /this/is/an/absolute/path
gfold ../../this/is/a/relative/path
gfold is intended to be ran on any tier one Rust target.
Please file an issue if your platform is unsupported.
gfld?gfld was an experimental, minimal version of gfold.
It was intended to potentially replace gfold, but has since been removed.
All optimizations and lessons learned from the project have since been integrated into gfold.
Check out the removal issue to learn more.
