Use git-global to keep track of all your local git repositories.
This is a Rust program that you can put on your PATH with cargo install
git-global, gaining an extra git subcommand that you can run from anywhere. To
obtain cargo and Rust, see https://rustup.rs.
Use git global <subcommand> to:
git global [status]: show git status for all your git repos (the default
subcommand)git global info: show information about git-global itself (configuration,
number of known repos, etc.)git global list: show all git repos git-global knows aboutgit global scan: search for git repos and update cacheTo change the behavior of git-global, you can do so with --- wait for it
--- git global configuration!
To set the base path for search to something other than your home directory:
git config --global global.basedir /some/path
To add patterns to exclude while walking directories:
git config --global global.ignore .cargo,.vim,Library
git global unstaged: show all repos that have unstaged changesgit global staged: show all repos that have staged changesgit global stashed: show all repos that have stashed changesgit global dirty: show all repos that have changes of any kindgit global branched: show all repos not on master (TODO: or a different
default branch that is defined... somewhere?)git global duplicates: show repos that are checked out to multiple placesgit global remotes: show all remotes (TODO: why? maybe filter by hostname?)
git global add <path>: add a git repo to the list that would not be found in a scan
git global ignore <path>: ignore a git repo and remove it from the listgit global ignored: show which git repos are currently being ignoredgit global monitor: launch a daemon to watch git dirs with inotifygit global pull: pull down changes from default tracking branch for clean repos
stream results as the come in (from git global status, for example, so we don't
have to wait until they're all collected)
locate .git if the DB is populated, instead of walking everythingSubcommand trait
