This is an interactive shell for Git that facilitates common actions by including shell completions, shell history and removes the need to preface each command with the word git.

I originally started this as an awk script. Then, I tried to implement it in a crystal program and now I've implemented it in Ruby.

$ bundle install
$ bundle rake install

$ igitsh

Use the :commands command to list all internal and external (Git) commands.

Igitsh Internal Commands
   :alias                  Create local and global Git aliases for common command combinations.
   :commands               List all internal and external commands along with descriptions.
   :exit                   Gracefully exit the program. This is equivalent to ctrl-c or ctrl-d.
   :history                Browse your Igitsh shell history with syntax highlighting.

See 'git help <command>' to read about a specific subcommand

Main Porcelain Commands
   add                     Add file contents to the index
   am                      Apply a series of patches from a mailbox
   archive                 Create an archive of files from a named tree
   ...

Tips:

• Syntax highlighting can give you information about whether your input is valid.
• Typing ./ can give you filepath completions.
