In plain English

mgit is a small shell script that runs a git command across multiple repositories at once. If you keep several git projects as separate folders inside a parent directory, mgit lets you run one command that applies to all of them instead of changing into each folder individually. You run it from the parent directory. It scans all direct subdirectories, identifies which ones contain a git repository, and runs the git command you specify in each one. If you run mgit with no arguments, it defaults to showing the short status of each repository. You can pass any git command: mgit pull, mgit checkout main, mgit log -n 1, and so on. The results are printed with color coding so it is easy to see which output belongs to which project. Versions are available for Bash and Zsh (macOS and Linux) and for PowerShell (Windows and cross-platform). Installation is a single command that downloads and sets up the script. The script only checks one level of subdirectories, so nested projects inside subfolders are not scanned. The README is written in Traditional Chinese.
