Now that the what is out of the way, I can expand on the why. I'm a developer for a long time, and I normally work across multiple repos at my day job. My breaking point came when I worked on a modular application with 20+ repositories, a feature would often span multiple repos, and getting a good overview was difficult. Not to mention navigating across apps, terminal paths, and generally getting everything to work together.
Naturally, I wrote scripts to manage the complexity. And eventually I built a little menu bar application to do those things. DevControls is my attempt to bring the core features I use daily into a nice little package.
I've been using this myself for some months at this point, it's stable and I have all core functionality in the app. So I figured I should send it out to the world and see if it sticks. My next planned features that I miss from my prototypes are: seeing a list of open PRs, checking out branches, stash + checkout master + pull from origin (all in one go), pulling all repos in one go, and honestly a few more things
