BetterGit (bg)

BetterGit is a lightweight command-line companion for Git. It streamlines daily version-control tasks, adds short and memorable commands, and can draft Conventional Commit messages with the help of an LLM.

Highlights

• Message generation via bg suggest (interactive) and bg commit (one-shot).
• Staging shortcuts: bg add for everything or selected paths.
• Branch utilities: bg branches, bg branch-info, bg switch, bg create-branch, bg delete-branch, bg delete-remote-branch.
• Tag utilities: bg tag to review tags, bg create-tag to add new ones and optionally push them, bg delete-tag to clean up locally or prompt for remote removal, and bg delete-remote-tag for one-shot remote cleanup.
• Simple pushes: bg push for the current branch, bg push-to for any branch without switching.
• Interactive branch deletion that asks whether to drop the remote copy, plus bg delete-remote-branch for one-shot remote cleanup.
• Rich top-level help (bg --help) that doubles as a quick reference.
