gitty

About gitty

gitty is a single-binary command-line tool that wraps Git and the GitHub CLI (gh) into shorter, semantic commands. It combines common multi-step sequences, such as staging, committing, and pushing, into single commands like gitty up, and supports symbolic shortcuts (=, ~, *) to indicate destination, source, and branch context in commands such as gitty push=main and gitty pull~main. It has no runtime dependencies (no Node or Python required) and no configuration files.

The tool covers repository and branch operations (init, clone, create/rename repos and branches), daily workflow commands (add, commit, push, pull with safe and hard modes), and history/conflict tools (log with time-range filters, tagged checkpoints, restoring to a tag, and interactive merge-conflict resolution via gitty fix). It integrates with GitHub through gh for actions like creating repositories and generating shareable push links.

It is installable via winget on Windows, via the AUR (package name gitty-cli) on Arch Linux, via Homebrew on macOS/Linux, via an install script, or by downloading the binary manually from Releases. The repository is a public archive on GitHub and was archived by its owner on June 15, 2026; it is now read-only. Documentation is available in English and Russian.
