gup - multi-directory git status/fetch/rebase

This tool is intended to help manage projects that have a large number of related git repositories. It will scan a directory hierarchy of git repos, and perform actions on each. The currently supported actions are:

• git fetch
• status - an "improved" git status

Support is planned for a "merge" command, for repos that can be fast-forwarded.

Installation

Clone the repo. In the src/GitUpdater directory, do either:

make install

or, if already installed:

make update

Libraries Used

• Spectre.Console
• System.IO.Abstractions
• SimpleExec
• Humanizer

Git

I originally tried using libgit2sharp, but it does not support SSL (git) protocol, which is a requirement for my use case. It also complicated packaging, as it is a wrapper on top of a native library, so building a true single-executable is not possible. So, instead, I am using SimpleExec to run git commands, and then parsing the output.

The git documentation has been helpful, as it provides details on the output from each command.
