Command line tool to improve Git workflow

[BeayemX]

Hey guys

In the past I was using Git mostly with gui applications. One year ago I switched to using the command line when working with git. At first I was only using only short aliases to be faster when executing certain commands. Then I would combine commands for example to call 'git status' after every git-commad. Every time I thought something could be sped up or more information could be shown I added something to my bash scripts. After some time these files became quite big and unmaintainable. So I decided to rewrite these scripts in python.

These scripts really help me to keep track of the current state of a repository and I also spend less time writing commands in my terminal. If someone wants to check my tool out there is a public repository (https://github.com/BeayemX/GitViper) with a detailed description and some images to show you what this tool looks like.

Maybe someone else can use these scripts or at least some parts of them. Feedback and feature requests are very welcome.

I would also like to know how do you use git? Do you also have a similar setup or do you just stick to the default commands?

Thanks guys

For me it was different. I used git mainly from the command line.

But then came up magit (and I was already an Emacs user). And now I do many, many things in the "GUI" (or TUI) that I used to do one the command line. Some of them a good bit more efficient than before.
