About:
GitFresh automates the process of keeping local git repositories up to date with their remote origins. It scans directories for git projects and fetches updates, merging changes or fast-forwarding branches as needed. This tool simplifies maintenance for developers managing multiple repositories simultaneously.

Key Features:

Automated fetching and merging for multiple repositories
Configurable branch tracking and update rules
Simple command-line interface with minimal setup
Non-destructive updates with safety checks

Use Cases:

Managing updates across multiple open-source projects in a development workspace
Keeping personal project forks synchronized with upstream repositories
Automating repository maintenance in CI/CD environments

Alternatives:

git-up – Similar functionality but git-up offers more detailed branch analysis and conflict detection
custom shell scripts – Manual scripts provide flexibility but lack the standardized error handling and configuration of git-fresh
