What it mirrors

The folder structure on GitHub is the folder structure on disk.

GitHub URLs on the left, your filesystem tree on the right. Same names, same nesting, no surprises.

Workflow

Interactive when you want it. Scriptable when you need it.

Run git-same for the full TUI, or use subcommands directly in repeatable shell workflows.

01 git-same init

Create config

Run init to create a config file at ~/.config/git-same/config.toml with sensible defaults.

02 git-same setup

Set up a workspace

Choose GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise, authenticate through GitHub CLI, select organizations, and choose the local root folder.

03 git-same sync

Sync in parallel

Clone missing repositories and fetch or pull existing ones concurrently, while skipping local repos with uncommitted work by default.

04 git-same status

Check status anytime

See which repositories are dirty, behind upstream, or ready before you switch projects or shut down for the day.

Installation

Three ways to install.

On macOS, the signed and notarized Homebrew cask is the recommended path. On Linux and headless macOS, install the git-same-cli formula. Both install all aliases automatically. Cargo works on any platform with the Rust toolchain.

GitHub Releases Pre-built binaries for macOS and Linux (x86_64 + ARM64) and Windows. crates.io Install with Cargo when you prefer Rust tooling. 
brew install --cask zaai-com/tap/git-same

Workspace setup

Pick providers, organizations, filters, and the local base path interactively.

Git-Same discovering repositories before sync

Discovery

Build the sync plan from GitHub before cloning or fetching anything.

Git-Same sync progress while cloning and fetching repositories

Live sync

Parallel clone and fetch progress with active workers and per-repo status.

Git-Same completed sync summary

Completed run

Review updated, cloned, skipped, and failed repos after the sync finishes.

Git-Same CLI status output listing repository state

CLI status

Script-friendly status checks for dirty repos, behind branches, and workspace health.

Commands

Every subcommand, in one place.

Command Description
git-same Launch the interactive TUI (no subcommand)
git-same init Create config file with sensible defaults
git-same setup Interactive wizard to configure a workspace
git-same sync Discover, clone new, and fetch/pull existing repos
git-same status Show git status across all local repos
git-same workspace List workspaces, set or clear default
git-same scan Discover repos without cloning or syncing
git-same reset Remove all config, workspaces, and cache

TUI

Every screen, every shortcut.

Run git-same without a subcommand to open the full-screen terminal UI. Navigate with keyboard shortcuts across all screens.

Screen Key bindings
Dashboard s: Sync · t: Status · w: Workspaces · ?: Settings
Workspace Selector Enter: Select · d: Set default · n: New

Aliases

Use the name that fits your muscle memory.

The Homebrew cask (macOS) and the git-same-cli formula (Linux) both install the primary binary plus short aliases automatically. All aliases work identically.

git-same gitsame gitsa gisa git same

Note: cargo install git-same installs only the primary binary. Both Homebrew install paths include all aliases. 

# All of these run the same sync
git-same sync
gitsame sync
gitsa sync
gisa sync
git same sync

Requirements

Uses the tools already in a GitHub developer setup.

git
Git-Same shells out to Git for clone, fetch, pull, and status operations. Must be in your PATH.
GitHub CLI (gh)
Authentication uses gh auth login, so there is no separate token flow to manage. Git-Same calls gh auth token to obtain API credentials. 
# Install GitHub CLI
brew install gh

# Authenticate
gh auth login

# Sync your workspace
git-same sync

Roadmap

What's shipped. What's next.

Git-Same 3.0 ships with full GitHub support, an interactive TUI, and signed and notarized macOS builds via Homebrew cask. Provider support for GitLab and Bitbucket is next.

Shipped

  • GitHub support
  • Parallel cloning
  • Smart filtering
  • Progress bars
  • Interactive TUI mode
  • Workspace management

Planned

  • GitLab support
  • Bitbucket support
  • Repo groups
  • Web dashboard

Install Git-Same and sync your workspace.

Homebrew installs the binary and aliases. After that, run git-same setup once and git-same sync whenever your GitHub orgs change.
