Changes to tracked files are committed by default, but you can easily customize the set of files to commit using flags\n- **Independent branches**\n\n    Branches in Gitless include your working changes, so you can switch between branches without having to worry about conflicting uncommitted changes\n- **Friendly command-line interface**\n\n    Gitless commands will give you good feedback and help you figure out what to do next\n- **Compatible with Git**\n\n    Because Gitless is implemented on top of Git, you can always fall back on Git. And your coworkers you share a repo with need never know that you're not a Git aficionado. Moreover, you can use Gitless with GitHub or with any Git hosting service\n\n\nInstall\n-------\n\nInstalling Gitless won't interfere with your Git installation in any\nway. You can keep using Git and switch between Git and Gitless seamlessly.\n\nWe currently require Git (1.7.12+) to be installed, but this requirement is\ngoing to disappear soon once we finish with our migration to [pygit2](https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2).\n\n\n### Binary release (macOS and Linux only)\n\nBinary releases for macOS and Linux are available from the\n[Gitless website](http://gitless.com \"Gitless's website\").\n\nIf you've downloaded a binary release of Gitless everything is contained in the\ngl binary, so to install simply do:\n\n    $ cp path-to-downloaded-gl-binary /usr/local/bin/gl\n\nYou can put the binary in other locations as well, just be sure to update your\n`PATH`.\n\nIf for some reason this doesn't work (maybe you are running an old version of\nyour OS?), try one of the other options (installing from source or via\nthe Python Package Index).\n\n### Installing from source\n\nTo install from source you need to have Python 3.7+ installed.\n\nAdditionally, you need to [install pygit2](\nhttp://www.pygit2.org/install.html \"pygit2 install\").\n\nThen, [download the source code tarball](http://gitless.com \"Gitless's website\")\nand do:\n\n    $ ./setup.py install\n\n\n### Installing via the Python Package Index\n\nIf you are a Python fan you might find it easier to install\nGitless via the Python Package Index. To do this, you need to have\nPython 3.7+ installed.\n\nAdditionally, you need to [install pygit2](\nhttp://www.pygit2.org/install.html \"pygit2 install\").\n\nThen, just do:\n\n    $ pip install gitless\n\n### Installing via Homebrew (macOS only)\n\nIf you are using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/ \"Homebrew homepage\"), a package\nmanager for macOS, you can install Gitless with:\n\n```\nbrew update\nbrew install gitless\n```\n\n### Installing via Snapcraft (Linux only)\n\nIf you are using [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/ \"Snapcraft\"), a\npackage manager for Linux, you can install the most recent release\nof Gitless with:\n\n```\nsnap install --channel=beta gitless\n```\n\nYou can also use the `edge` channel to install the most recent build.\n\n### Installing via the Arch User Repository (Arch Linux only)\n\nIf you are using [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/) or any of\nits derivatives, you can use your favorite\n[AUR Helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers) and install:\n- [gitless](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitless/) for the latest\n  released version\n- [gitless-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitless-git/) to \n  build the latest version straight from this repo\n\nDocumentation\n-------------\n\n`gl -h`, `gl subcmd -h` or check\n[our documentation](http://gitless.com \"Gitless's website\")\n\n\nContribute\n----------\n\nIf you find a bug, create an issue in our\nGitHub repository. If you'd like to contribute\ncode, here are some useful things to know:\n\n- To install gitless for development, [install pygit2](\n  http://www.pygit2.org/install.html \"pygit2 install\"), clone the repo,\n  `cd` to the repo root and do `./setup.py develop`. This will install\n  the `gl` command with a symlink to your source files. You can make\n  changes to your code and run `gl` to test them.\n- We follow, to some extent, the [Google Python Style Guide](\n    https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html\n    \"Google Python Style Guide\").\nBefore submitting code, take a few seconds to look at the style guide and the\nGitless code so that your edits are consistent with the codebase.\n\n- Finally, if you don't want [Travis](\n    https://travis-ci.org/gitless-vcs/gitless \"Travis\") to\nbe mad at you, check that tests pass in Python 3.7+. Tests can be run with:\n  ```\n  python -m unittest discover gitless/tests\n  ```\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["\u003ca id=\"tag-dev\" href=\"#tag-dev\"\u003eDev\u003c/a\u003e","git","Python","Git and Version Control Systems"],"sub_categories":["\u003ca id=\"tag-dev.scm\" href=\"#tag-dev.scm\"\u003eSCM\u003c/a\u003e"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgitless-vcs%2Fgitless","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgitless-vcs%2Fgitless","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgitless-vcs%2Fgitless/lists"}
