I've got multiple git repos under a directory, and I was wondering whether there was some functionality in git to iterate each directory, check whether there are any uncommitted changes and report those to me?
I could run this every morning to ensure everything is up to date.
It's just that on any one day, I'll be working with multiple repos and I'll forget to commit my changes, which can cause conflicts when I realise much later on to commit them.

Andy is right (in the comments): if the parent directory is itself the root directory of a parent repo, with all the subdirectories as submdules, then git status can detect any changes in one of them.
You can also use (with submodules) git diff
git submodule foreach --recursive git diff --name-status
Without submodules, see a scripting solution at "git: Find all uncommited locals repos in a directory tree".
