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

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.
