It packages the common developer question 'can I go?' into a small status aggregator over many local repositories. ### Adoption history The README documents Go, Homebrew on macOS, curl-based Linux installation, manual binary installation, and a Windows binary. Homebrew continues to package cig, but the available package metadata suggests a niche tool rather than broad ecosystem adoption. ### How it is used Users create a .cig.yaml file in their home directory mapping labels such as work or personal to directories containing Git repositories, then run cig to report repositories with pending pushes or modified files. The README also documents target and string filters. ### Why package nerds care cig is a compact example of the mid-2010s Go single-binary CLI pattern: GitHub releases, Homebrew installation, cross-platform binaries, and a tiny YAML configuration file. ### Timeline - 2015: Official repository and package history center on the v0.1.x Go CLI era. - 2015: README documents Go, Homebrew, Linux, and Windows distribution paths. - 2026: Homebrew still packages cig. ### Related projects - Git is the underlying tool being inspected; cig is a status aggregator over local Git repositories. - Homebrew is the main package-manager distribution surfaced in the input. ### Sources - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
