🧭 git-scope – A TUI for managing multiple git repositories (built with Bubble Tea)

[Bharath-code]

Hey everyone!

I’ve been experimenting with Bubble Tea recently and ended up building a small tool called git-scope to help with a workflow problem I kept running into — managing dozens of local git repos across side projects, experiments, and config folders.

Instead of manually jumping between folders and running git status repeatedly, git-scope shows all your repos in a single TUI:

• recursive repo discovery
• dirty / clean / ahead / behind indicators
• fuzzy search
• Vim-style navigation
• jump directly into a repo’s folder or editor
• ~10ms startup time

Bubble Tea made this a really fun build — the state handling and update loop model fit naturally with how I wanted to architect the UI.

If anyone here has suggestions on:

• improving the UI
• better patterns for structuring larger Bubble Tea programs
• performance tuning
• idiomatic Go improvements

…I’d love to learn from the community.

Thanks to the Charm team for creating such an enjoyable framework — this was one of the most pleasant dev tool projects I’ve worked on.
