Listing Local and Remote Git Repos using Git shell

Is there any way to list all the remote as well as local repositories of one using git shell on Windows? I normally use GitHub (the GUI version) where local and remote repositories are listed in GUI.

What I have tried is:

$ git remote -a
$ git remote -r

I have also tried to play with history command, and browsed through some tutorials, but none of them mentions a clear cut solution. Please see if you can respond.

if You are using POSIX style OS, you can run this command.

find / -name ".git"

Basically Git does not have a centeral repository that contains all the repositories. This command just search all the folders for a .git file.

Likewise on Windows or Mac, one can search for .git as well and it will list all the git repositories.

There is no central place where a list of all your repos are stored. A git repository is nothing but a folder with some fancy content. But that means that you can find all git repos by looking for exactly that.

Do a search on all your drives for .git. If you have bare repos there, it might get a little bit more difficult. You could try looking for files that are called HEAD, though that might give you some false positives. Maybe files named config that contain the string repositoryformatversion.
