                  [--report-choice {print,email,both}]

Your friendly neighborhood git repository checker. Finds dirty / unpushed
repositories and tells you about them.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --check-dir CHECK_DIR
                        directory to check recursively for git repositories

Email reports

You need to create two additional files before you can run with email reports enabled. These live in the root of the repository.

recipient : one line: the email address of who should receive the report
sender : two lines: (1) the username (2) the password of the Gmail account for sending the report

Then, just run

$ python checker.py --report-choice email

Advanced usage

The line below can be added to your crontabs file to run the git checker daily at 9pm (0 minutes, 21 hours), where it will look at and below a directory called ~/repos/ and email you the result.
