Implement the core data layer that everything else builds on: walking a
parent directory for Git repositories and snapshotting each repository's
state via porcelain commands.
Domain model (pkg/status):
- RepoStatus enum with zero value = StatusUnknown (invalid/unset), covering
clean / modified / ahead / behind / diverged / detached / bare / error
- RepoInfo snapshot: path, name, remote URL, branch, detached flag, staged /
modified / untracked file lists, ahead/behind counts, stash count, error
- ScanResult with computed Summary counters and NeedsAttention filter
Git wrapper (internal/git):
- Executor built with functional options (binary, timeout, env), defaults to
"git" with a 10s per-command timeout so a hung repository can never stall
a scan; context cancellation honoured via exec.CommandContext
- Status() validates with rev-parse --is-bare-repository (bare repos are
reported as StatusBare and skipped), then parses `git status
--porcelain=v2 --branch -z`
- Parsing uses the NUL-separated v2 format so paths with spaces, quotes,
and tabs survive verbatim (no C-quoting to decode); rename records (type
2) and ahead/behind lines (# branch.ab) are handled, unknown tokens are
ignored for forward compatibility
- Best-effort remote URL (git config --get-regexp) and stash count
Discovery (internal/scanner/discover.go):
- WalkDir-based traversal that never descends into .git internals
- Detects working trees via .git directory or .git pointer file (linked
worktrees, submodule checkouts) and bare repos via a *.git directory
carrying its own HEAD/objects/refs
- WithExclude glob patterns (matched against full path and base name) and
WithMaxDepth depth limiting as functional options
- Walk errors (e.g. permission denied) are aggregated and returned
alongside partial results via errors.Join; cancellation is propagated
Scanner (internal/scanner/scanner.go):
- Concurrent status scanning with a bounded worker pool (errgroup +
SetLimit, default 8 workers)
- Per-repo failures become StatusError entries instead of aborting the
pass; a cancelled context aborts the whole scan
Testing:
- Table-driven parser tests with canned NUL-separated porcelain output
- Integration tests against a real git binary (clean / modified / staged /
stashed / detached / bare / non-repo)
- Discovery tests over a fixture tree with nested repos, a bare repo, a
linked worktree, and an exclusion target
- Scanner tests for mixed success/failure, bounded concurrency, and
cancellation; everything runs under -race
Note: LastFetch from the original plan was dropped — the only reliable
source is a reflog of the remote-tracking ref, which does not exist on
fresh clones, so it would always be misleading. The model remains
extensible if a fetch-history feature is wanted later.
