SSS

The simple-scm gem provides the sss (Simple SCM Service) command to iterate over your Git, Mercurial, and Subversion projects to pull the latest changes, show you their status, and more.

SSS is simple to install using RubyGems.

gem install simple-scm

SSS iterates over the directories in ~/workspace/ for your checked-out projects. You can change this with the SSS_WORKSPACE environment variable, like so for Bash:

export SSS_WORKSPACE=~/projects/

sss COMMAND

• pull, up, update Update to the latest changes
• status, st Check the status for any uncommitted changes
• push (git, hg) Push all committed changes to central repo
• out, outgoing (git, hg) Show outgoing changes, not pushed to central repo
• in, incoming (git, hg) Show incoming changes, not updated
• wtf (git) Compare local to tracked remote branch

For git, the out, in, and wtf commands require the git-wtf plugin

Please file a ticket if you have any trouble. Also feel free to fork and submit a pull request with any changes you find useful.

I've used versions of this script for years to keep my many projects up-to-date, but I'm open to suggestions to make this even more useful.
