## Project history and usage

cig, short for Can I go?, is a Go CLI that checks a configured set of Git repositories and reports local changes or commits that need pushing.

### Project history

The official README describes cig as a command-line app for checking the state of Git repositories. It packages the common developer question 'can I go?' into a small status aggregator over many local repositories.

### Adoption history

The README documents Go, Homebrew on macOS, curl-based Linux installation, manual binary installation, and a Windows binary. Homebrew continues to package cig, but the available package metadata suggests a niche tool rather than broad ecosystem adoption.

### How it is used

Users create a .cig.yaml file in their home directory mapping labels such as work or personal to directories containing Git repositories, then run cig to report repositories with pending pushes or modified files. The README also documents target and string filters.

### Why package nerds care

cig is a compact example of the mid-2010s Go single-binary CLI pattern: GitHub releases, Homebrew installation, cross-platform binaries, and a tiny YAML configuration file.

### Timeline

- 2015: Official repository and package history center on the v0.1.x Go CLI era.
- 2015: README documents Go, Homebrew, Linux, and Windows distribution paths.
- 2026: Homebrew still packages cig.
