`git-branchless` is a suite of tools which enhances Git in several ways:
|
|
It makes Git easier to use, both for novices and for power users. Examples:
|
|
- `git undo`: a general-purpose undo command.
|
|
- The smartlog: a convenient visualization tool.
|
|
- `git restack`: to repair broken commit graphs.
|
|
- Speculative merges: to avoid being caught off-guard by merge conflicts.
|
|
|
|
It adds more flexibility for power users. Examples:
|
|
- Patch-stack workflows: strong support for "patch-stack" workflows as
|
|
used by the Linux and Git projects, as well as at many large tech companies.
|
|
(This is how Git was "meant" to be used.)
|
|
- Prototyping and experimenting workflows: strong support for prototyping and
|
|
experimental work via "divergent" development.
|
|
- `git sync`: to rebase all local commit stacks and branches without having
|
|
to check them out first.
|
|
- `git move`: The ability to move subtrees rather than "sticks" while cleaning
|
|
up old branches, not touching the working copy, etc.
|
|
- Anonymous branching: reduces the overhead of branching for experimental
|
|
work.
|
|
- In-memory operations: to modify the commit graph without having to check out
|
|
the commits in question.
|
|
- `git next/prev`: to quickly jump between commits and branches in a commit
|
|
stack.
|
|
- `git co -i/--interactive`: to interactively select a commit to check out.
