$ gitcheck.py

$ gitcheck.py -v

Gitcheck detailed report

Gitcheck customization

You can customize the output color, the gitcheck try to find ~/mygitcheck.py if it found, it is imported, see the mygitcheck.py.sample

Docker container

You can check your git repositories from an docker container (from your host)

From the host, you can use this command

$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/files:ro badele/alpine-gitcheck

$ docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/files:ro badele/alpine-gitcheck cd /files && gitcheck OPTIONS

You can also create a shell function into the host, exemple for ZSH

gitcheck (){
    docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/files:ro badele/alpine-gitcheck
}
#
$ gitcheck

Original author's description

When working simultaneously on several git repositories, it is easy to loose the overview on the advancement of your work. This is why I decided to write gitcheck, a tool which reports the status of the repositories it finds in a file tree. This report can of course be displayed on the terminal but also be sent by email.

Now you can also check your host git from an docker container. See the docker section
