drydock – track outstanding work across Git repositories

drydock is a terminal application for keeping track of outstanding work across large collections of Git repositories.

Instead of inspecting repositories individually, drydock scans configured directories and presents their state in a single live dashboard. It highlights repositories containing uncommitted changes, commits which have not been pushed, work created since the latest release tag, conflicts and incomplete Git operations.

The program distinguishes working state from release state, helping identify repositories that are clean but still contain commits which may need releasing. It also monitors repositories for filesystem changes, allowing individual repositories to be re-probed rather than repeatedly performing expensive full scans.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Full-screen terminal dashboard for monitoring collections of Git repositories.
  • Detects staged, unstaged, untracked and conflicted files.
  • Shows commits which have not been pushed across all local branches.
  • Identifies repositories with no releases, released repositories and repositories needing a new release.
  • Displays commits made since the most recent reachable tag.
  • Detects stashes, detached HEAD states, merge and rebase operations and probe errors.
  • Filter repositories by dirty, unpushed, behind, conflicted, clean and release state.
  • Filter by activity within the last hour, day, week or month.
  • Fuzzy search repositories by name, group and branch.
  • Open a repository in an editor, Git client, terminal or web browser.
  • Fetch individual repositories or all repositories currently displayed.
  • Provides table and JSON output for scripting and status-line integration.
  • Caches working-tree information and uses filesystem watching to minimise repeated Git scans.
  • Supports configurable repository roots, exclusions, scan depth, refresh intervals and concurrency.
  • Cross-platform support – runs on Linux and macOS.
