Giti

Simplify Your Git Workflow

Giti is a powerful Git utility tailored to streamline your Git operations. Its user-friendly interactive interface ensures consistent commit formatting and addresses scenarios that are prone to causing conflicts and issues throughout the entire process of handling code updates and modifications. This results in a clean and organized commit history, enhancing overall team collaboration and productivity.

Warning: Giti is currently in EXPERIMENTAL phase. Use with caution and at your own risk.

Note: I strongly recommend testing commands on a trial repository first. Currently, only standard scenarios are supported - verify procedures for complex cases.

Key Features

• Interactive interface
• Advanced and consistent commit formatting
• Effortless code change management
• Clean and organized commit history
• Powerful CLI with extensive options
• Enhanced team collaboration

Installation

You can install Giti using one of the following methods:

Method 1 (Recommended) - Download and verify first:

# Download the installation script
curl -sSLO https://github.com/mohsen-karami/giti/raw/master/install.sh

# Review the script content (recommended for security)
cat install.sh

# Run the installation with sudo
sudo bash install.sh

Method 2 - Direct installation:

curl -sSL https://github.com/mohsen-karami/giti/raw/master/install.sh | sudo bash

⚠️ Security Note: Method 1 is recommended as it allows you to review the script before execution. Method 2 is more convenient but less secure as it runs the script directly without inspection.

Note: The installation requires sudo privileges to:

• Install files in system directories for all users
• Set proper executable permissions
• Install required dependencies if needed

After the installation is complete, you can run the app using the giti command from your terminal.
