When working in multiple repos, it is useful to know if you have uncommitted or unpushed changes, across all of them. Uncommitted does just that. To install using pip run:

$ sudo pip install uncommitted

Test it giving as an argument the root of repos:

$ uncommitted ~/pandora_ws/src

NOTE: Install pip running sudo apt-get install python-pip.
