What is it?

Gita manages a set of local git repositories from one place. Running `gita ll` shows each repo's branch, staged, unstaged, untracked and stashed state, and commit message in a single colored table, with branch colors indicating whether the local branch is ahead, behind, diverged, or has no remote.

Repos are registered with `gita add`, optionally grouped, and can be scoped with a context so that commands like `gita pull` apply only to a chosen group or to the group matching the current directory. Any git command or alias can be delegated to one or many repos from any working directory, and `gita shell` runs arbitrary shell commands across them.

Custom sub-commands are defined in a JSON file, and colors, displayed info items, status symbols and per-repo git flags (such as bare-repo dotfile setups) are configurable. Installation is available through pip, uv, or pipx.

Key features

  • 01Shows branch, change state and last commit for all repos in one colored view.
  • 02Delegates git commands and aliases to repos from any directory.
  • 03Groups repos and sets a context so commands apply to a chosen subset.
  • 04Recursively adds repos under a parent folder and builds hierarchical groups.
  • 05Supports custom sub-commands, colors, status symbols and per-repo git flags.

Use cases

  • Keeping an overview of many related repos in a monorepo-like project split across folders.
  • Pulling or fetching updates across all of your local clones in one command.
  • Restoring a set of repos on a new machine from a frozen configuration file.
  • Running the same git or shell operation across several repositories at once.
