Check git status of multiple repos

If you're like me you have a dir like ~/Workspace/Github where all your git repos live. I often find myself making a change in a repo, getting side tracked and ending up in another repo, or off doing something else all together. After a while I end up with several repos with modifications. This script helps me pick up where I left off by checking the status of all my repos, instead of having to check each one individually.

Usage:

git-status [directory]

This will run git status on each repo under the directory specified. If called with no directory provided it will default to the current directory.

#!/bin/bash
dir="$1"
# No directory has been provided, use current
if [ -z "$dir" ]
then
dir="`pwd`"
fi
# Make sure directory ends with "/"
if [[ $dir != */ ]]
then
dir="$dir/*"
else
dir="$dir*"
fi
# Loop all sub-directories
for f in $dir
do
# Only interested in directories
[ -d "${f}" ] || continue
echo -en "\033[0;35m"
echo "${f}"
echo -en "\033[0m"
# Check if directory is a git repository
if [ -d "$f/.git" ]
then
mod=0
cd $f
# Check for modified files
if [ $(git status | grep modified -c) -ne 0 ]
then
mod=1
echo -en "\033[0;31m"
echo "Modified files"
echo -en "\033[0m"
fi
# Check for untracked files
if [ $(git status | grep Untracked -c) -ne 0 ]
then
mod=1
echo -en "\033[0;31m"
echo "Untracked files"
echo -en "\033[0m"
fi
# Check for unpushed changes
if [ $(git status | grep 'Your branch is ahead' -c) -ne 0 ]
then
mod=1
echo -en "\033[0;31m"
echo "Unpushed commit"
echo -en "\033[0m"
fi
# Check if everything is peachy keen
if [ $mod -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Nothing to commit"
fi
cd ../
else
echo "Not a git repository"
fi
echo
done

Great script thanks for sharing!
I decided to alter the "if" statement which checks/fixes path to an elif statement to stop a local error on Ubuntu.

The script runs fine, but without this alteration it showed a small console error about syntax on line 12 regarding double brackets. I am not a shell expert, but I like using scripts when possible to save time. This modification works without error. Saves me time updating large projects. My version of the script has some added logic exclusive for my projects, thanks again.

Here's my mod: https://gist.github.com/shopglobal/0b7a46613f2335f150de855e717396ca/revisions

Original (if):

# No directory has been provided, use current
if [ -z "$dir" ]
then
    dir="`pwd`"
fi

# Make sure directory ends with "/"
if [[ $dir != */ ]]
then
	dir="$dir/*"
else
	dir="$dir*"
fi

Modified (elif):

# No directory has been provided, use current
if [ -z "$dir" ]
then
    dir="`pwd`"

# Make sure directory ends with "/"
elif [ $dir != */ ]
then
	dir="$dir/*"
else
	dir="$dir*"
fi

Maybe considering adding a help context would be nice :D. I can submit an improvement if it's fine.

Thanks, for recursion you can replace line 70 with ./$0 "${f}"

Hello,

I add a "DEBUG" var to get shorter results on large directories

Yes, you need to download the script and run chmod +x git-status.
