  • gitless

    A simple version control system built on top of Git

  • Yes, looks like mostly abandoned https://github.com/gitless-vcs/gitless/issues/248

  • jj

    A Git-compatible VCS that is both simple and powerful

  • There's also Jujitsu that looks a bit more interesting IMO:

    https://github.com/martinvonz/jj

    Or Pijul if you want to give up on Git compatibility.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • lazygit

    simple terminal UI for git commands

  • I'll continue to plug Lazygit https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit - I wasn't able to grok git until I started using this tool

  • gitless

    A maintained fork of the simple git interface (by goldstar611)

  • https://github.com/goldstar611/gitless claims to be a “maintained fork of the simple git interface”. Latest commiot was in November 2022, though.

  • idiot-proof-git

    Idiot proofing git with simple aliases to your gitconfig

  • 90% of my git problems I’ve solved with two aliases: “git publish” and “git synced”

    Publish (or pub for short) pushes to the remote (doing the right thing to safety update it).

    Synced updates the local branch with the trunkiest-trunk (upstream preferred over origin, using whichever one of main or master exists)

  • gut

    An alternative git CLI for Windows, macOS, and Linux (by julien040)

  • Perhaps we haven't found the correct abstraction yet.

  • oh-my-git

    An interactive Git learning game! (by git-learning-game)

  • Since you teach Git, I'm curious if you've tried https://ohmygit.org/ , and what your opinion of it is?

  • git-remote-aws

    encrypted git hosting should be easy

  • ff-only is the real git superpower.

    a linear, immutable, series of commits in the only branch that is suffered to exist.

    git, the good parts.

    it also pairs well with a simplified remote[1].

  • undotree

    The undo history visualizer for VIM

  • What's helped me much more lately is undotree for vim [1]. It basically logs every single time a file is saved. Its much more useful because commits have to be made by humans and they may not do it often (and usually there is an incentive for "clean or working commits"). There have been many times where I went back to copy something from the undotree.
