When working simultaneously on several git repositories, it is easy to loose the overview on the advancement of your work. This is why I decided to write gitcheck, a tool which reports the status of the repositories it finds in a file tree. This report can of course be displayed on the terminal but also be sent by email.
Now you can also check your host git from an docker container. See the docker section
pip install git+git://github.com/badele/gitcheck.git
In a simple invocation, gitcheck shows for each repository found in the file tree rooted at the current working directory if they have changes to be committed or commits to be pushed.
$ gitcheck.py
This invocation is substantially identical to the previous one, but the generated report also enumerates modified files and pending commits.
$ gitcheck.py -v
You can check your git repositories from an docker container (from your host)
From the host, you can use this command
$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/files:ro badele/alpine-gitcheck
or
$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/files:ro badele/alpine-gitcheck cd /files && gitcheck OPTIONS
You can also create a shell function into the host, exemple for ZSH
gitcheck (){
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/files:ro badele/alpine-gitcheck
}
#
$ gitcheck
