NAME

       Legit: Git for Humans -

       Inspired by GitHub for Mac.

THE CONCEPT

       GitHub for Mac is not just a Git client.

       This comment on Hacker News says it best:
          They  haven't  re-created  the  git  CLI  tool  in a GUI, they've created something different. They'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.

       Why not bring this innovation back to the command line?

THE INTERFACE

       branches
              Get a nice pretty list of available branches.

       sync [<branch>]
              Syncronizes the given branch. Defaults to current branch.  Stash, Fetch, Auto-Merge/Rebase,  Push,
              and Unstash.  You can only sync published branches.

       switch <branch>
              Switches  to  specified  branch.  Defaults to current branch.  Automatically stashes and unstashes
              any changes.

       sprout [<branch>] <new-branch>
              Creates a new branch off of the specified branch.  Swiches to it immediately.

       harvest [<branch>] <new-branch>
              Creates a new branch off of the specified branch.  Swiches to it immediately.

       graft <branch> <into-branch>
              Auto-Merge/Rebase of specified branch into the second branch.

       publish <branch>
              Publishes specified branch to the remote.

       unpublish <branch>
              Removes specified branch from the remote.

       install
              Installs legit git aliases.

THE INSTALLATION

       Installing Legit is easy with pip:

          $ pip install legit

       You'll then have the wonderful legit command available. Run it within a repository.

       To install the git aliases, run the following command:

          $ legit install

CAVEATS

       • All remote operations are carried out by the first remote found.

       • If a stash pop merge fails, Legit stops. I'd like to add checking for a merge  failure,  and  undo  the
         command with friendly error reporting.

       • Pip install is cumbersome to people unfamiliar with Python. Package. (Py2App + PyInstaller)
