Another day, another project nobody really needs… but here it is! 😁

As I was reorganizing some stuff, mostly on multiple Git repositories (both, internal and GitHub), I noticed that sometimes I forget to save my work. So, to remember (and potentially stop this from happening), came up with a small and simple PowerShell script… helping me to remember. Of course, it was vibe-coded with the ChatGPT’s help.

The idea behind it – I have a local folder with multiple projects/repositories on which I’m working. As I mostly switch from one thing to another (or a computer to computer, or …), I sometimes do something and forget to save it on the remote Git instance. And as things with computers tend to happen… 🙂

Smart people of the Internet say (borrowed from https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/111489234007874526):

So, to potentially stop forgetting (and losing my work), a simple PowerShell script (Check-GitRepos.ps1) goes into the local “projects” folder, gets the latest updates, asks and commits the local changes (if there are some). For now, it doesn’t create additional branches, commits to them, etc. – it may be a feature of the next version.

Current version is just fine for my personal “use case” – smart, simple and quick.

Examples of running it on a local folder:

So, not much else to add – it does what it’s supposed to do. And, as always, it’s available on my GitHub.

Cheers!

P.S. Yeah, I also thought about the question that presents itself – and who will remind me to run the script?! Oh, well… 🤷‍♂️😅

P.P.S. There is also git-fire, which may help with the emergencies.
