How to check the status of all git repositories at once?

Question

Introduction

In order to check the status of git repositores, git status could be issued from the root of a repository.

C:\path\to\git_repositories\git_repo_1>git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean

If a directory consists of multiple, e.g. 50 git repositories

C:\path\to\git_repositories>dir

 Directory of C:\path\to\git_repositories

  .ssh
  git_repo_1
  ...
  git_repo_50
   0 File(s)
   51 Dir(s)

Nor

C:\path\to\git_repositories>git status .
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

neither

C:\path\to\git_repositories>git status ./.
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

is able to check the status of all repositories

Answer 1

I went with:

find . -name .git -execdir bash -c 'echo -en "\033[1;31m"repo: "\033[1;34m"; basename "`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`"; git status -s' \;

I think it's nicer because treats directories recursively.

Edited to show the name of the repo in a cleaner way.

Answer 2

As of 2.34 the for-each-repo command allows running git commands across a list of repos defined in a multi-valued config.

Example config:

[myRepos]
  repo = /full/path/without/expansion/repo1
  repo = ../can/be/relative/repo2
[alias]
  all = for-each-repo --config=myRepos.repo

Then you can run git all status.
