god

Linux utility for simplifying the Git usage.

god parses the available Git commands from the retrieved list (git help) and turns them into an easy-to-type, one or two char format at the execution time. Shortcuts of commonly used git commands are supported for simplifying the usage and speeding up typing even more.

Installation

Installation can be made with a AUR helper tool like Trizen or yay.

Git shortcuts.

Executing non-git commands

Other terminal commands can be executed with adding a '#' character before the command. It's necessary for non-git commands because the god executes all other terminal inputs with git.

god > # ps
PID   TTY    TIME     CMD
23965 pts/2  00:00:00 bash
30306 pts/2  00:00:00 go
30361 pts/2  00:00:00 god
30519 pts/2  00:00:00 ps
god > # pwd
/home/k3/god
