Shameless plug: I've tried to build an alternative CLI for Git [1]. I think it's just too hard to create a new abstraction. Git seems too widespread and many people won't switch if they already have muscle memory of the commands. Perhaps we haven't found the correct abstraction yet. [1] https://github.com/julien040/gut

Thank you for all your feedback! I have many great ideas for improving Gut, which I've detailed in a recent blog post. https://github.com/julien040/gut/blob/main/future_of_gut.md

https://github.com/julien040/gut/blob/main/src/telemetry/tel... In that file we find a URL: https://api-events.gut-cli.dev/v1 <-- If data about users is collected here, is there any legally binding agreement that covers how that data can be used. Is there even any knowing consent by the user that data will be collected. Good luck with the computer science degree. NB. I am not implying that consent or an agreement are legally required. The questions are asked because the answers could affect a user's decision whether or not to use the software.

Thanks for suggesting this. I've opened a new discussion on GitHub about this feature: https://github.com/julien040/gut/discussions/38

Yes, I thought about this. Some users may not want to use emojis in their commit messages. I have added a feature (or a bug fix) to allow writing a commit without any emojis. https://github.com/julien040/gut/commit/a92e4c510d912deb490e...

Hi Hacker news ! I’m Julien and I built an alternative CLI for Git : gut. Even if I haven’t been coding for a long time (I’m in the first year studying computer science), I’ve always found git to be frustrating. The command naming is inconsistent and git lets you easily shoot yourself in the foot. I made gut, another git porcelain, to solve these issues. It provides a consistent naming of command. To do so, syntax is based on subcommands. For example, to delete a branch, run gut branch rm rather than git branch -d, same to delete a remote (gut remote rm) and so on. Gut also prevents you from shooting yourself. It provides nice defaults and always prompt you before doing something destructive. Also, it won’t allow you to rewrite the history if it has been pushed to the remote. Creating commits in detached head is also prohibited. Finally,
