Open Source Version Control Software

You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command-line program to step through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, you have to edit an arcane patch file by hand? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realize that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just check out the branch directly? If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you.

Manage multiple runtime versions with a single CLI tool. Manage each of your project runtimes with a single CLI tool and command interface. asdf is a CLI tool that can manage multiple language runtime versions on a per-project basis. It is like gvm, nvm, rbenv & pyenv (and more) all in one! Simply install your language's plugin! Large ecosystem of existing runtimes & tools. Simple API to add support for new tools as you need! Support for existing config files .nvmrc, .node-versions, .ruby-version for smooth migration! .tool-versions to manage all your tools, runtimes, and their versions in a single, sharable place. Supports Bash, ZSH, Fish & Elvish with completions available. Provides a GitHub Action to install and utilize your .tool-versions in your CI/CD workflows.

bit is an experimental modernized git CLI built on top of git that provides happy defaults and other niceties. Command and flag suggestions to help you navigate the plethora of options git provides you. Autocompletion for files and branch names when using bit add or bit checkout. Automatic fetch and branch fast-forwarding reduce the likelihood of merge conflicts. Suggestions work with git aliases. New commands like bit sync vastly simplify your workflow. Commands from git-extras such as bit release & bit info. Fully compatible with git allowing you to fallback to git if need be. Get insight into how bit works using bit --debug.

Legit is a complementary command-line interface for Git, optimized for workflow simplicity. It is heavily inspired by GitHub for Mac. We haven't re-created the git CLI tool in a GUI, we've created something different. We've created a tool that makes Git more accessible. Little things like auto-stashing when you switch branches will confuse git veterans, but it will make Git much easier to grok for newcomers because of the assumptions it makes about your Git workflow. Switches to specified branch. Defaults to the current branch. Automatically stashes and unstashes any changes. Synchronizes the given branch. Defaults to current branch. Stash, Fetch, Auto-Merge/Rebase, Push, and Unstash.

Onefetch is a command-line Git information tool written in Rust that displays project information and code statistics for a local Git repository directly on your terminal. The tool is completely offline, no network access is required. By default, the repo's information is displayed alongside the dominant language's logo, but you can further configure onefetch to instead use an image, on supported terminals, text input, or nothing at all. It automatically detects open source licenses from texts and provides the user with valuable information like code distribution, pending changes, number of dependencies (by package manager), top contributors (by number of commits), the size on disk, creation date, LOC (lines of code), etc. Onefetch can be configured via command-line flags to display exactly what you want, the way you want it to: you can customize ASCII/Text formatting, disable info lines, ignore files & directories, and output in multiple formats (JSON, Yaml), etc.

An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git. gix is a command-line interface (CLI) to access git repositories. It's written to optimize the user experience and perform as well or better than the canonical implementation. Furthermore, it provides an easy and safe to use API in the form of various small crates for implementing your own tools in a breeze. Please see 'Development Status' for a listing of all crates and their capabilities. Please note that all functionality comes from the gitoxide-core library, which mirrors these capabilities and itself relies on all git-* crates. Limit the number of threads used in operations that support it. Choose between 'human' and 'JSON' output formats. Display general information about the index itself, with detailed extension information by default and detailed information about the TREE extension. Follow the linked crate name for detailed status.
