Installing gitto is not really necessary, but it is more convenient. In order to install it just run:

make install

This will install gitto to /usr/local/, if you would like it somewhere else you could use the DESTDIR variable:

make install DESTDIR=/some/other/place

This will install gitto to /some/other/place/.

If you're fed up with gitto and want it gone, and I do mean now, you can run:

make uninstall

This will remove any gitto installed files from /usr/local/, if you used the DESTDIR variable during installation, you should give it the same value here, like:

make uninstall DESTDIR=/some/other/place

This will remove any gitto installed files from /some/other/place/.

Usage is, hopefully, simple, first you have to register some repos:

$ gitto -r ~/projects/project1
$ gitto -r ~/projects/project2
$ gitto -r ~/projects/project3

Then you can call gitto without any argument to see a list of your repos and their statuses:

$ gitto
project1:      0 to push, 0 to pull and is dirty
project2:      5 to push, 2 to pull and is not dirty
project3:      0 to push, 1 to pull and is not dirty

If you're done with one of your projects and no longer wish to track their status you can unregister them:

$ gitto -R ~/projects/project1

If you require further assistance:

$ gitto -h
