This is a collection of seventeen git utilities aimed at people doing rapid development using Git.
Gitz is for two types of users - quality-obsessed individuals who relentlessly manicure their pull requests until every byte is in the right place; and ultra-rapid developers who want to generate large features quickly while taking advantage of continuous integration.
Most of these utilities only exist here, one came from a chat on Reddit and I don't know where one of them came from.
Four of them are written in Bash, the rest use Python 3. They have been tested on Mac OS/X (Darwin) and on Ubuntu, and will likely work on any Unix-like operating system.
Use pip <https://pypi.org/project/pip/>_:
.. code-block:: bash
pip3 install gitz
Or simply download
this directory <https://github.com/rec/gitz/zipball/master/>_
and make sure it's in your shell's PATH - gitz has no
external dependencies.
This page contains a summary and a link to a manual page for each command. From
the terminal, use -h flag like this: git new -h or use man like
this: man git-new.
At the start of a session
git new safely creates fresh branches from upstream
git update for each branch, rebases from upstream and force-pushes
During development
git st is a more compact and prettier git status
git when shows you when documents were last changed
During rapid development
git infer commits files with an automatically generated message -
great for committing tiny changes for later rebasing downWhile cleaning up a branch for review
git permute permutes, squashes or removes commits in the current branch
git split split one or more commits, perhaps with the staging area,
into many small individual commits, one per file
During repository maintenance
git rotate rotates through all branches
git copy, git delete, and git rename work on both local
and upstream branches
Working with continuous integration
git stripe pushes a sequence of commits to individual remote branches
where CI can find and test them.. figure:: https://asciinema.org/a/XwakAaMsMzKg4hIAJa18iiNac.png :target: https://asciinema.org/a/XwakAaMsMzKg4hIAJa18iiNac?autoplay=1&theme=solarized-light&loop=1 :align: center :alt: The whole gitz movie :width: 430 :height: 402

By default, the branches develop and master are protected -
they are not allowed to be copied to, renamed, or deleted.
You can configure this in three ways:
setting the --all/-a flag ignore protected branches entirely
setting the environment variable GITZ_PROTECTED_BRANCHES overrides these
defaults
setting a value for the keys PROTECTED_BRANCHES in the file
.gitz.json in the top directory of your Git project has the same effect

These commands are not intended for use on a shared or production branch, but can significantly speed up rapid development on private branches.
