New How To Tame Your Multi-repo Chaos With The Terminal 2025

As a full-stack developer or SRE, you likely live in a world of microservices and polyrepos.

You have 10, 20, or maybe 50+ repositories cloned locally.

Every morning, the ritual is the same. navigate to each folder, checking if you forgot to push changes or if you're behind origin/main.

This manual context switching is a productivity killer. It pulls you out of your flow state before you even write a single line of code.

Existing GUIs (like GitHub Desktop or Sourcetree) are often too slow or bloated due to Electron. lazygit is amazing, but it's designed for focusing on one repository at a time, not managing fifty.

We built this for the Polyrepo Power User—specifically:

Pain: You are working on a feature that spans 5 services (auth, payments, core, etc.). You edited code in 3 of them but forgot which ones. Solution: Open Git-Scope. The "Dirty" status bubbles all 3 modified repos to the top. You commit and push them in seconds, ensuring your PRs stay in sync.

Pain: You manage dozens of Terraform modules or Ansible roles. You need to check if your local copies are behind origin/main before running a plan. Solution: One glance at the dashboard shows you exactly which infrastructure repos are out of date (↓ 2 commits behind). You can pull updates without cd-ing into each directory.

Pain: You maintain 10+ libraries. You have random stashes and unpushed experimental branches scattered everywhere. Solution: Use the Fuzzy Search (/) to instantly jump between libraries to review PRs locally. Use the "Clean" filter to find "abandoned" experiments you forgot to delete or push.

If you are on macOS or Linux, you can install it via Homebrew:
