gitgrip

Everything you need for multi-repo

One tool to synchronize branches, link pull requests, and keep multiple repositories working as one.

📜

Manifest-Based Config

Define all your repos in a single YAML file. Version it, share it, and onboard new developers instantly.

🧩

Composable Workspaces

Inherit repos, scripts, hooks, and env from shared gripspace repositories. Build on top of team defaults.

🌐

Multi-Platform

Works with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket. Mix platforms in a single workspace.

🔀

Synchronized Branches

Create, checkout, and delete branches across every repo at once. Always stay in sync.

🔗

Linked Pull Requests

Create PRs that reference each other across repos. Review and track changes as a cohesive unit.

⚡

Atomic Merges

All-or-nothing merge strategy ensures repos stay in sync. No more partial merges breaking your stack.

Simple, powerful workflow

Everything works the way you expect git to work — just across all your repos at once.

AI-Native Workspaces

Built for a world where AI agents are your teammates. New in v0.13.0

`gr agent context`

AI tools query workspace metadata — repos, languages, build commands, conventions — with --json for machine consumption.

`gr agent generate-context`

Define context once, generate for Claude, OpenCode, Codex, and Cursor. Runs automatically during gr sync.

`gr verify`

Boolean pass/fail assertions for CI. --clean, --on-branch, --synced with exit code 0/1 for scripting.

`--json` everywhere

Machine-readable output on every command. Status, diff, PR status, verify, link — all structured JSON.
