**Automating .gitignore updates across repos**
I'm drafting a PowerShell script to sync a template `.gitignore` to multiple git repos, carefully adding missing lines without duplicates and preserving newlines. The script will stage and commit changes only when needed, handling edge cases like missing files, trailing spaces, and git errors. I'll also ensure repo paths with spaces are correctly quoted for smooth execution.

**Summarizing repo commit statuses**
I’m figuring out how to identify which repos actually got updated by checking their latest commit messages and logs, aiming to differentiate repos with real changes from those without commits. I want to produce a concise table listing each repo alongside its HEAD commit message to clearly show which ones were modified.

## Gitignore Sync Complete
- Enumerated project repos under `R:\Creative\artsy\maya\` with names matching `YYYY-MM-DD*`; five directories were confirmed as git repositories.
- For each repo, merged `components/gitignore`:
- Copied the full template when `.gitignore` was missing.
- Otherwise appended only the template lines that were absent (e.g., new archive rule `*.7z`, capitalized `Renders/`, etc.), preserving any existing custom entries.
- Staged and committed the updates with the required message.
### Updated repositories
- `2025-07-09 LolbitNSFW` — commit `de6d070`
- `2025-07-11 GothFexa` — commit `e1844dc`
- `2025-07-29 Springtrap_Goopie` — commit `1ed427d`
- `2025-08-02 Springtrap Prince of Egypt` — commit `8767f6b`
- `2025-08-17 DIE` — commit `a403b76`
All five worked cleanly; no other repos required changes.
