Forked in order to allow it to work on Windows if using git bash, cygwin or equivalent

npm i -g git-summary

If you ever experienced one of the following situations, git-summary is for you.

• I don't remember where some of my repositories are...
• Did I forgot to push that commit?
• Do I have a repo in my system that is outdated?
• Did someone pushed new commits to origin/master in one of my repos?
• Did I commit that quick change I made before the pizza delivery guy rang my door?

git-summary is a bash script that will neatly list the current status of any git repos it founds within a directory or your entire system. See the example screenshot below:

• sudo apt-get install gawk

• brew install coreutils

Clone this repo and alias the script. To do so, add the following line to ~\.bashrc:

alias git-summary='<PATH>/git-summary/git-summary'

<PATH> is the path to the cloned repo. Don't worry, if you ever forget where you cloned this repo, you will be able to easily find it with git-summary 😉

Copy git-summary in /usr/local/bin.

General usage:

git-summary [options] path

path is optional and the current directory will be used if left blank.

• -h: Print help and exit.
• -l: Local summary lookup. Checks only local changes which is faster as there is no need to fetch the remote.
• -d: Deep lookup. Will look for any git repos within the entire current directory tree. Can be slowish for large trees.
• -s: Summary. Only print the number of things that need work

Currently, git-summary does not list multiple branches per repo. However, for single repos git-branch-status does this beautifully.
