GitLasso

This is my tool for managing multiple Git repositories. I made it, all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good.

  • Quickly see the status of multiple Git repositories in a pretty table.
  • A sensible command line interface.
  • Work on a subset of repositories with context.
  • Run commands against them serially or in parallel.

Example

Installation

Make sure you have your cargo binary path in your $PATH.

Usage

In short:

  • Use the register command to add repositories.
  • Run gitlasso on its own to see a summary of those repositories.
  • Use context to select which repositories you want to operate on.
  • Use fetch and pull to update all repositories in parallel.
  • Use git to run git commands.
  • Run exec to run arbitrary commands, and exec -p to run them in parallel.

Tip: alias gitlasso to something short, like gl.

Shell Completion

You can use the completions command to print shell completions. Either evaluate the output directly, or pipe the output to a file and include it in your shell configuration.

Fish

$ gitlasso completions fish | source

Zsh

$ eval "$(gitlasso completions zsh)"

Bash

$ eval "$(gitlasso completions bash)"

Bash does not complete aliases, but you can do this:

$ alias gl=gitlasso
$ eval "$(gitlasso completions bash --binary gl)"
