I work across many local git repositories (microservices, OSS projects, config repos, experiments), and I often lose track of which ones are dirty, ahead/behind, or where I last made changes. Checking each repo with git status became a daily time sink.
So I built git-scope — a small TUI that shows the state of all your git repos in one terminal screen.
What it does
Recursively finds git repos under a directory
Shows clean/dirty/ahead/behind status at a glance
Fuzzy search + quick filtering
Press Enter to jump straight into a repo (shell or editor)
Uses lightweight git metadata to avoid running git status everywhere
~10ms startup on my machine thanks to caching
Fully local, no telemetry
