I'm curious where I've scattered my git repositories across my mac. I'm trying to figure out how I could do a search to find them all so I can organize my life a bit. How can I do this?

Find is your friend. a .git folder will exist in each of your repositories so finding the location of them will give you all your repos.

find /Users/username -name ".git" -print

Use find:

find ~ -name .git

This searches for the .git directory that is created in all (non-bare) Git repositories.

Choice of a suitable file to search for to find bare repositories is left as an exercise for the reader.

In shell:

find $HOME -type d -name ".git"

Assuming you have locate, this should be much faster:

locate .git |grep git$

If you have gnu locate or mlocate, this will select only the git dirs:

locate -ber \\.git$
