git-dashboard

git-dashboard creates a Dashboard to monitor the status for multiple repositories.

Repositories can be organized into groups, so one can switch from one group to another seamlessly.

Installation

$ pip install git-dashboard

Usage

Simply run:

$ git-dashboard &

to start with the default dashboard. The program will search for git repositories in the user's home directory and create a configuration file called config.yaml.

Configuration

Configuration file is a simple YAML file that lists the different repositories in groups.

Suppose we have these 8 repos that we want to track:

/home/john/Projects/foo/.git
/home/john/Projects/bar/.git
/home/john/Projects/baz/.git
/home/john/bin/.git
/home/john/nasa/proj1/.git
/home/john/nasa/proj2/.git
/home/john/nasa/proj3/.git
/home/john/misc/.git

We can classify the above 3 repos into 3 groups like this:

projects:
  - /home/john/Projects  # will include `foo`, `bar`, `baz`

nasa:
  - /home/john/nasa            # will include `proj1`, `proj2`, `proj3`
  - "!/home/john/nasa/proj2"   # exclude proj2

misc:
  - /home/john/misc  # individual repos can be listed too
  - /home/john/bin

Note that prefixing "!" in front of a path can exclude a repo from a group. Due to YAML syntax, we need to enclose the path in single or double quotes.

Type:

$ git-dashboard -h

to see the location of the configuration file.
