git-scope

git-scope is a sleek terminal-based user interface designed to simplify the management of multiple Git repositories on a machine. This innovative tool scans directories to present the status of each repository, highlighting those with uncommitted changes and allowing for quick access to the editor.

Key Features

• Fuzzy Search: Effortlessly locate any repository by name, path, or branch using the / key.
• Dirty Filter: Use f to filter the view and display only repositories that have uncommitted changes.
• Fast Caching: Benefit from instant startup times thanks to efficient JSON caching.
• Interactive Dashboard: Access essential information, including branch details, staged and unstaged changes, and last commit summaries.
• Intuitive Navigation: Navigate easily with keyboard shortcuts similar to Vim (j to move down and k to move up), along with sorting options (s).
• Quick Jump: Open any repository in preferred editors such as VSCode or nvim with a simple press of the Enter key.

Getting Started
