polygit

Manage multiple git repos from a single .pgit config file.

uv tool install polygit

Usage

pgit sync      # clone missing repos, fetch all
pgit status    # show repos with uncommitted changes
pgit pull      # pull all repos, auto-stashing local changes
pgit push      # interactively commit and push dirty repos
pgit repos     # discover drift between .pgit and the filesystem

Configuration

Create a .pgit file in the root directory that contains your repos:

github:
  your-username:
    repo-one:
    repo-two:
  some-org:
    their-repo: {remote: "some-org/their-repo"}

gitlab:
  your-namespace/group:
    private-repo:
    another-repo:

pgit discovers this file by walking up from the current directory — so running pgit status anywhere inside your repos root just works.

Remote overrides

If a repo is cloned to a local path that differs from its remote path, use the remote key:

github:
  my-local-name:
    project: {remote: "upstream-org/project"}

push modes

pgit push                # prompt for a message per repo (default)
pgit push --all          # one message for all dirty repos
pgit push --wip          # auto-commit with "WIP <timestamp>"

repos — drift detection

pgit repos compares what's actually on disk against your .pgit config and reports:

• Remote mismatch — repo is at the right path but the git remote differs (e.g. SSH vs HTTPS)
• Wrong location — remote is tracked in .pgit but cloned to a different directory
• Untracked — repo on disk not referenced in .pgit at all
• Missing — in .pgit but not yet cloned (run pgit sync)

It then offers to update .pgit or rename directories interactively.

Migrating from repos.yaml

If you were using the sync.sh predecessor, rename your repos.yaml to .pgit — the format is identical.
