In my current assignment, I'm acting as the main build guy for a number of projects that use git for source control. As such, I find it very useful to keep all my git clones up to date whether I'm actively developing in them or not. Additionally, I need to review the changes other developers are committing, so I'd like to get a summary of recent git activities.
Over time, I've put this little bash script together to help me with that. I've included the script in this posting so I can remember later what/why I did this. Disclaimer, I wrote this script and run this script in bash on Linux (not via git-bash in Windows). Also, I'm using Zenity for some nice UI look/feel.
