ghorgsync

ghorgsync

Clone and update all organization repositories in one folder, with clean-state and branch audits plus warnings for stray content.

Why ghorgsync?

Working with many repositories across a GitHub organization means constantly cloning new repos, pulling updates, and keeping track of local state. ghorgsync automates this into a single command that keeps your local directory in sync with your organization's repositories—safely and non-destructively.

Key Features

• One command sync — clones missing repos, fetches and pulls existing ones, all in one pass
• Non-destructive — never deletes directories, discards local changes, or runs destructive git commands
• Dirty repo detection — reports staged/unstaged changes with file details and line counts
• Branch drift audit — detects when a repo isn't on its default branch and corrects clean repos automatically
• Stray content warnings — identifies unknown folders and excluded-but-present repos in your directory
• Quiet by default — only prints actions taken and findings; verbose mode available for full detail
• Colorized output — structured, color-coded terminal output (honors NO_COLOR)
