git-scan

It's a dead-simple command-line tool that does one thing really well: it scans directories for Git repos and tells you which ones have uncommitted changes. Nothing fancy, just pure utility.

What It Actually Does

Run it from your terminal like this:

git-scan ~/projects

And you get something like:

✅ chronotune                   → clean
❌ scratchbook                  → uncommitted changes
✅ projector                    → clean

⚠️    Found 1 repository(s) with uncommitted changes.

That's it.

Check the GitHub repo here.

Sometimes the most valuable projects aren't the most complex ones - they're the ones that simply make your day a little bit easier :)
