Monitor all your Git repositories at a glance

[!NOTE] 🚧 Work in Progress

RepoNest is under active development and not yet production-ready. There's still plenty of work to be done before the first stable release. Despite this, you're welcome to try it out and share your feedback!

Roadmap

• Core functionality: scan Git repositories, gather status
• Basic TUI interface with Ratatui
• Basic CLI commands: list
• Configuration file support
• Preset themes for TUI
• Support non-Git projects with specific status info
• More opening actions
• Remote repository status integration (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
• Performance: smarter and faster scanning, faster status gathering
• Support jujutsu repositories
• ...

Features

• Lightning Fast — Parallel repository scanning with async I/O and multi-threaded Git operations
• Beautiful TUI — Interactive terminal interface built with Ratatui, featuring real-time updates
• Scriptable CLI — Automate workflows with powerful command-line flags
• Smart Discovery — Recursively finds all Git repositories with configurable depth and exclusions
• Rich Insights — Track branches, commits, changes, stashes, and remote status at a glance
• Highly Configurable — TOML-based configuration with sensible defaults
• Zero Dependencies — Single binary, no runtime required
