I'm using a small script like

for d in $HOME/Repository/* ; do
   if [[ -n "$(git -C $d status -s)" ]] ; then 
        emacsclient --eval "(magit-status $d)" 
   fi
done

to open repositories that need intervention. But I would like to see this info in a buffer in Emacs, preferably a summary of multiple repositories to show which files need merge/commit along with incoming/outgoing info.

Is there a package/configuration for this?

    I read emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/19176/… before asking but didn't like submodule solution. But rereading, the comment to the question provides a pointer to github.com/thomasf/dotfiles-thomasf-emacs/blob/master/emacs.d/… which looks what I need. I'll keep this question for now for other possible solutions – Emre Sahin Mar 17 '16 at 17:03
  • Could you please summarize the approach you are now using in an answer. Thanks. – tarsius Apr 13 '16 at 9:54
  • I'm keep all my development repos under a directory and run a script that checks whether a repository needs attention. If so it runs magit via emacsclient. This script is bound to a key sequence in xmonad, so it's not very different than pressing keys in Emacs. But a summary generated by polling all repositories might be better suited to my comfort zone (i.e. Emacs) @tarsius – Emre Sahin Jun 7 '16 at 0:54

I have implement a command that lists known local repositories in a separate buffer on a feature branch, see this pull request.

It will probably be a while until I finish the documentation and merge this branch into master, but I think it is quite usable already.

  • I did not run this yet, will do so tomorrow but from what I read, this looks fantastic. Will keep testing this and report if any bugs appear. Thank you. – Emre Sahin Jun 7 '16 at 0:58
