Git Status Monitor

Tired of constantly jumping between terminal tabs to check the status of your git repositories? Surprised to find a repo is way behind after making a few changes? Well, jump no more! Introducing the Git Status Monitor – your one-stop shop for keeping tabs on all your git repos in real-time.

What's in the box? 📦

This nifty little tool recursively scans a directory of your choice (defaults to the current directory) and displays the git status of each repository it finds. It's like having a personal assistant for your git workflow, minus the coffee runs.

Getting Started 🏁

To get this party started, npx git-status-dash watches whatever directory it is run in.

You can also install it globally with npm install -g git-status-dash and run it from anywhere with git-status-dash.

Running from the repo

Or, if you'd like to clone the repo, first make sure you have Node.js installed on your system. Then, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository or download the git-status-monitor.js file.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the script.
3. Run npm install to install the required dependencies.
4. Make the script executable with chmod +x git-status-monitor.js.
5. Run the script with ./git-status-monitor.js.

Sit back and watch as the Git Status Monitor works its magic, displaying the status of your repositories in a slick, color-coded table.

What's it telling me? 🤔

The table displays the following information for each repository:

• Repository name (relative to the scanned directory)
• Status icon and details:
  • ✓ (green): The repository is in sync with the remote.
  • ↑ (yellow): The local branch is ahead of the remote by the specified number of commits.
  • ↓ (yellow): The local branch is behind the remote by the specified number of commits.
  • ✕ (red): There are uncommitted changes or the repository is not a valid git repo.

The repositories are sorted by the most recently modified ones at the top, so you can quickly see which repos need your attention.

Happy Monitoring! 😄

Now go forth and conquer your git workflow with the power of the Git Status Monitor. May your commits be clean and your branches always in sync!
