About forgit
forgit wraps everyday Git commands in fzf menus so you can pick files, commits and stashes from a filterable list with previews. Commands such as ga give an interactive git add, and others cover browsing the log, viewing diffs and managing stashes.
It is loaded as a plugin for zsh, bash or fish and depends on fzf being installed. It suits people who work with Git in the terminal and want quicker selection without a full-screen interface.
Strengths
- Fuzzy selection of files, commits and stashes with previews
- Short command aliases for common Git tasks
- Works in zsh, bash and fish
- Lightweight, built on existing tools
Limitations
- Requires fzf
- Wraps individual commands rather than offering a full Git interface
