reporadar

A live, interactive terminal dashboard for the status of every git repo under a directory tree.

If you've got dozens of project folders and dotfiles scattered around your home directory, reporadar gives you a single screen showing which ones are dirty, ahead/behind their remote, and when they were last touched, with one keypress to fetch everything, pull a fast-forward, or drop into lazygit for the ones that need attention.

┌─ reporadar - ~/projects ─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Install

cargo install --path .

or clone and run directly:

cargo run --release -- ~/projects

Usage

reporadar [PATH]            # scan PATH (default: current directory)
reporadar --max-depth 3 ~   # limit how deep the scan walks

reporadar walks the given directory looking for anything containing a .git; it stops descending as soon as it finds one, so it won't waste time indexing every file inside your repos.

Keybindings

Key	Action
↑/↓, j/k	Move selection
r	Rescan the directory tree
f	Fetch all visible repos in the background (non-blocking)
p	Pull the selected repo (fast-forward only)
Enter	Suspend the dashboard and open the selected repo in lazygit (falls back to git status if lazygit isn't installed)
/	Fuzzy-filter repos by name
Esc	Clear the filter, or quit if not filtering
q / Ctrl+C	Quit

How it works

reporadar shells out to the system git binary rather than linking libgit2; a single git status --porcelain=v2 --branch call gives branch, ahead/behind counts, and dirty state in one pass, and git log -1 --format=... supplies the last commit's relative time and message using git's own formatting. This keeps the build free of native/OpenSSL dependencies and reuses whatever credential helpers (SSH agent, Windows Credential Manager, etc.) your system git is already configured with.

Background work (status scans, fetches, pulls) runs on a small pool of OS threads so the UI never blocks on network I/O; background fetches set GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 so an auth-walled remote fails fast instead of hanging.
