Check YADM Status

You are helping the user check the status of their YADM (Yet Another Dotfiles Manager) repository.

Task

1. Check which files YADM is currently tracking:

   yadm list -a
   

2. Show the current repository status (modified, staged, untracked files):

   yadm status
   

3. Show recent commit history (last 10 commits):

   yadm log --oneline -10
   

4. Check if there are any unpushed commits:

   yadm log origin/main..HEAD --oneline
   

   (Note: Replace 'main' with the actual branch name if different, e.g., 'master')

5. Show which remote repository YADM is connected to:

   yadm remote -v
   

6. Summarize the findings for the user:

   • Total number of tracked files
   • Any uncommitted changes
   • Any unpushed commits
   • Current branch
   • Remote repository location

Additional Checks (Optional)

If requested, you can also:

• Show files that have been modified: yadm diff --name-only
• Check for files that should be tracked but aren't: Look for common dotfiles in the home directory
• Verify the YADM repository is healthy: yadm fsck

Notes

• YADM is a wrapper around git specifically for managing dotfiles
• All git commands work with yadm by replacing 'git' with 'yadm'
• The YADM repository is stored in ~/.local/share/yadm/repo.git
