history

Project history and usage

multi-git-status installs the `mgitstatus` command, a small utility by fboender for checking many Git working trees at once. The public GitHub repository was created in 2016 and describes the command as a way to show uncommitted, untracked, and unpushed changes across multiple repositories.

Project history

The tool fills a common maintainer workflow: scan a directory tree for `.git` directories, then print concise status lines for repositories that need attention. Its README documents checks for uncommitted changes, untracked files, branches that need push or pull, branches without upstreams, and stashes, with options for recursion depth, fetching, throttling fetches, flattened output, color, and filtering clean repositories.

How it is used

Package-manager metadata exposes it as `multi-git-status` in Homebrew while Debian and Ubuntu package the executable-oriented name `mgitstatus`. Its niche is deliberately narrower than repository orchestration tools: it is a quick status dashboard for people who keep many local clones.
