workspace-flatten

Finds repos living in the wrong path and moves them to the flat layout.

Tools

scripts/scan.sh

Scans for repos nested inside parent dirs that should be at the flat level.

• Input: none
• Output: {nested: [{name, current_path, target_path, git_remote, unpushed_count, dirty: bool}]}

scripts/flatten.sh

For each nested repo: push unpushed commits, clone at flat level, remove old location.

• Input: REPO_PATH=<current absolute path> TARGET_PATH=<target flat path>
• Output: {moved: bool, pushed: int, target: string, removed_old: bool}

Workflow

1. Run scripts/scan.sh - survey first, no side effects
2. Show the table: what is nested, where it should go, whether it has unpushed work
3. For repos with unpushed work: push first before removing
4. For each repo: clone at flat level, verify identical remote, remove old path
5. Report: moved count, any that were skipped and why

Rules

• Never remove an old path without confirming the flat clone has the same remote
• Never remove if there is uncommitted (dirty) work
• Repos that are internal-only (no GitHub remote) stay where they are
