RepoScan

reposcan is a simple command-line tool written in Go that scans your filesystem for Git repositories and reports their status.
It helps you quickly find:

• Repositories with uncommitted files
• Repositories with unpushed commits (ahead of upstream)
• Repositories with unpulled changes (behind upstream) (todo)

It outputs results in both human-friendly tables and machine-friendly JSON, so you can use it interactively or integrate with scripts and future UIs.

✨ Use cases

• Daily cleanup: See which projects have dirty working trees before switching tasks.
• Context switch: Know which repos still have unpushed commits before you leave for the day.
• Housekeeping: Find old repos you forgot to commit/push.
• Automation: Export JSON reports to integrate with dashboards or other tools.

📦 Installation

Go install (latest)

go install github.com/you/reposcan/cmd/reposcan@latest

Make sure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is in your $PATH.

From source

git clone https://github.com/MABD-dev/reposcan.git
cd reposcan
go build -o reposcan ./cmd/reposcan

🚀 Usage

Scan your home directory

reposcan --root $HOME

Multiple roots

reposcan --root ~/Code --root ~/work

Flags

--root PATH                 # add a directory to scan (repeatable)
--only TYPE                 # filter repos: all|dirty
--output TYPE               # stdout, options=table|json|none
--json-output-path PATH     # output scan report in json format to desired location

⚙️ Configuration

By default, reposcan looks for a config file in:

~/.config/reposcan/config.toml

Example

version = 1

# directories to search for git repos inside
roots = ["~/Code", "~/work"]

# Skip these directories (glob patterns)
dirIgnore = [
  "/node_modules/",
  "/.cache/",
  "/.local/"
]

# options: 
#   1. `dirty`: git repos with un-commited changes or unpushed changes
#   2. `all`: all git repos
only = "dirty"

# print scan result to stdout. Options:
#   1. `json`: json object containing scan report struct
#   2. `table`: human readable representation of scan report
#   3. `non`: prints nothing
Output = "table"

# output scan reports to this folder. All nested folders will be created
# if they don't exist
JsonOutputPath = '/home/me/Documents/code/projects/Go/reposcan/output-samples'

You can still override everything via CLI flags.

Config lookup order

1. check config in ~/.config/reposcan/config.toml
2. check cli flags and override those in step 1

🛣 Roadmap

• Scan filesystem for repos
• Detect uncommitted files
• Stdout Ouput in 3 formats: json, table, none
• Read user customizable config.toml file
• Support ahead of remote
• Export Report to json file
• Support behind remote
• Support dirignore
• Detect ahead/behind commits
• Worker pool for speed
• Support git worktrees
• Use cobra for better cli support
