ways to do a git pull or or git status or git checkout -b across multiple repositories at once

• github.com/makelinux/gitm (AKA git-m) (last updated May 2021, first released Sep 2019, 511 SLOC)
  • con — It depends on pandas, which is a massive install, merely to parse a date-time string. This is completely rediculous!
  • pro — I like the output of git m --status, it shows the number of files that are untracked/changed/stashed/to_push/to_pull. Very nice.
  • con — (for my own purposes) it requires python3, which we don't have on any of our production machines :(
• github.com/nosarthur/gita (last updated Mar 2022, first released Jan 2018, 2512 SLOC)
  • pro — It's generally well put-together. It's easy to install using pip3.
  • gita context auto is exactly what I wanted
