script: git-status-report

Location: ~/dev/claude/small-scripts/scripts/git-status-report Symlinked to: ~/sbin/git-status-report Source project: small-scripts (not claude-foundations)

Purpose

Recursively scans a directory for git repos and reports uncommitted changes and remote sync status. Used by context-load to include git status in the system prompt.

Usage

git-status-report [OPTIONS] [DIRECTORY]
  • -n, --dryrun — List discovered repos without running status checks
  • Default directory: cwd

How it works

  1. Discovery: Finds all .git directories, filters out nested repos
  2. Status: For each repo, runs git status --porcelain and checks remote tracking branches
  3. Character diff: Reports approximate character-level additions/removals per file (not just line counts)
  4. Report: Prints dirty repos with colour-coded status, clean repo count at the end

Gotchas

  • Does not git fetch — reports against local tracking refs only (speed over accuracy)
  • Exit code 1 if any repo is dirty (useful for CI/scripting)
  • ANSI colour output — context-load strips it via strip_ansi when embedding in system prompts
