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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** multi-git-status - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - dnf - multi-git-status - 2.3-4.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: multi-git-status from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Show uncommitted, untracked and unpushed changes for multiple Git repos | https://github.com/fboender/multi-git-status - Debian apt - mgitstatus - 2.3+dfsg-1: installed executable or alias match | Debian stable package indexes: mgitstatus from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Show status of multiple Git repositories | https://github.com/fboender/multi-git-status - Nix - mgitstatus: installed executable or alias match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/mg/mgitstatus/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - mgitstatus - 2.2+dfsg-2: installed executable or alias match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: mgitstatus from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Show status of multiple Git repositories | https://github.com/fboender/multi-git-status ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [cig](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cig/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, repositories, status. - [aicommit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aicommit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [aicommit2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aicommit2/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [aicommits](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aicommits/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [braid](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/braid/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [codeberg-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/codeberg-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [commitizen](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/commitizen/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [commitlint](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/commitlint/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [microplane](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/microplane/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
