# About

Gitil (a contraction of Git and utils) is a set of tools that I have developed to simplify some common tasks I often have todo in Git such as merging a branch into master our creating a tag and pushing the tag. Originialy some of these tools where python scripts, but I have decided to bundle them into a singular CLI program. Everyone is free to use and extend my program, however there **aren't** are a lot of error handeling checks build in, therefore I don't recommend using this for mission critcial enterprise projects as it can really mess up your git repo's.

# Why Go?

Like I said I wanted to bundle my python scripts in a cross platform CLI tool. C and C++ where to difficult and too verbose for me. I was learning Go as a side project and decided that this would be an excellent test case for trying to improve my Go skills.

# How to use

Grab a binary from the [latest release](https://github.com/stevenbraham/gitil/releases) and add it to your $path. You can also clone this repo and run the makefile. After instalation run `gitil help`.
