workspace

workspace (ws) is a command-line tool for managing multiple git repositories that live together inside a single workspace directory. Instead of cd-ing into every repo one by one, ws lets you operate on all of them at once — for example, running ws status to see the git status of every repository in your workspace that has changed.

Installation

go install gitlab.com/doertydoerk/workspace/cmd/workspace@latest

Or build from source:

git clone https://gitlab.com/doertydoerk/workspace.git
cd workspace
just install       # installs `ws` into $GOPATH/bin, with version info stamped in

just build/just install stamp ws --version with the current git tag, commit, and build date via -ldflags. Plain go build/go install skip that and report dev.

Usage

ws help
ws --version

Commands

• ws scan — walks the current directory for git repositories and records them in a .workspace manifest file.
• ws status — shows the git status (path, branch, changes) of every repo in the manifest that isn't clean, plus any repo that isn't checked out on its default branch (e.g. main).
• ws update — runs git pull --rebase --autostash on every repo in the manifest, preserving uncommitted local changes automatically.
• ws revert — irreversibly discards all uncommitted changes (staged, unstaged, and untracked) in every repo that isn't clean, after listing the affected repos and asking for confirmation (skip with --yes).
• ws version (or ws --version) — prints the version, commit, and build date.
