EZGit is a command-line interface based on Ruby. The goal of EZGit is to simplify the daily git tasks used in a multi-team enterprise development environment without the need to fully understand the full complex beauty of Git. With EZGit, committers with any level of Git knowledge can work in the repo with confidence and consistency.
EZGit abstracts away many Git concepts that are consistent sources of confusion. Concepts such as...
- Where do branches live? On my local machine or on the remote? Who cares? EZGit handles it for you.
- What's the difference between the working directory, the stage(or index), and the local repo? I could spend hours explaining it to you, but if you don't really want to know, EZGit is here to make that stuff go away.
EZGit replaces git's complex and overloaded commands with simple, intentional, ruby-styled names.
In future updates, EZGit will implement a branching strategy that has been honed and refined over the last two years by a large agile enterprise development shop. The concepts of merging (and rebasing) will be equally simplified so that you can concentrate on your code, and not on, "how the heck do I merge these changes?!"
Best of all, EZGit is still Git. So if you are a Git-Fu master, you can go back to using your favorite, obtuse Git commands at any time. They'll always be there waiting for you when you need to do the complex stuff.
If you try EZGit and find that it doesn't quite work for you, drop me a line and let me know why. I'm happy to look at other use cases and consider including them in future updates.
Cheers,
AJ
To intall:
gem install ezgit
EZGit changes a lot (especially during this development phase). To update your existing installs, you can use gem update ezgit, or you can use EZGit's self-update command:
ez update
Once installed, take a look at the help menu:
ez -h
