Hi HN,

Over the last week I’ve been iterating on a small workflow tool I needed for myself, and wanted to share it here to get feedback from people who work with multi-repo setups.

Problem: I work across a lot of local git repositories (side projects, config folders, experiments, microservices) and kept losing track of which ones were dirty, ahead/behind, or needed attention. Running git status in 15 folders every morning wasn’t sustainable.

Solution: I built git-scope, a small TUI that shows the git status of all local repos in one screen. It starts fast (~10ms), auto-discovers repos, and updates status without needing to cd around.

Current features:

recursive repo discovery

dirty / clean / ahead / behind indicators

fuzzy search

jump into repo directory or editor

Vim-style navigation

fast startup (Go + Bubble Tea)

Upcoming features:

per-repo disk usage

lightweight contribution activity graph

timeline of recent modifications

optional repo grouping

Repo: https://github.com/Bharath-code/git-scope

Website: https://bharath-code.github.io/git-scope/

Demo GIF: https://github.com/Bharath-code/git-scope/raw/main/docs/git-...

I’d appreciate feedback on:

performance considerations

how people structure larger Bubble Tea TUIs

ergonomics/UI improvements

whether this fits into real multi-service or monorepo workflows

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for reading!
