Show uncommitted, untracked and unpushed changes for multiple Git repos. multi-git-status shows * Uncommitted changes if there are unstaged or uncommitted changes on the checked out branch. * Untracked files if there are untracked files which are not ignored. * Needs push (BRANCH) if the branch is tracking a (remote) branch which is behind. * Needs upstream (BRANCH) if a branch does not have a local or remote upstream branch configured. Changes in the branch may otherwise never be pushed or merged. * Needs pull (BRANCH) if the branch is tracking a (remote) branch which is ahead.
