ohmyposh.dev
A prompt theme engine for any shell
Oh My Posh enables you to use the full-color set of your terminal by using colors to define and render the prompt. Easily adjust existing themes or create your own. From standard segments all the way to custom implementations. No matter which shell you're using, or even how many, you can carry the configuration from one shell and/or machine to another for the same prompt everywhere you work. What started as the offspring of oh-my-posh2 for PowerShell resulted in a cross platform, highly customizable and extensible prompt theme engine. After 4 years of working on oh-my-posh, a modern and more efficient tool was needed to suit my personal needs. When you look at prompts like Agnoster or Paradox, you notice they usually consist of a few building blocks which contain one or more segments that display some sort of information. The configuration of Oh My Posh works exactly like that. Blocks are a combination of one or more segments. -

Talisman
Talisman validates the outgoing changeset
Talisman is a tool that installs a hook to your repository to ensure that potential secrets or sensitive information do not leave the developer's workstation. It validates the outgoing changeset for things that look suspicious - such as potential SSH keys, authorization tokens, private keys etc. Talisman can also be used as a repository history scanner to detect secrets that have already been checked in, so that you can take an informed decision to safeguard secrets. We recommend installing Talisman as a pre-commit git hook template, as that will cause Talisman to be present, not only in your existing git repositories, but also in any new repository that you 'init' or 'clone'. Installation of Talisman globally does not clobber pre-existing hooks on repositories. If the installation script finds any existing hooks, it will only indicate so on the console. After the installation is successful, Talisman will run checks for obvious secrets automatically before each commit or push. -

Git Credential Manager
Secure, cross-platform Git credential storage with authentication
Git Credential Manager (GCM) is a secure Git credential helper built on .NET that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It aims to provide a consistent and secure authentication experience, including multi-factor auth, to every major source control hosting service and platform. GCM supports (in alphabetical order) Azure DevOps, Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server), Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. Compare to Git's built-in credential helpers (Windows: wincred, macOS: osxkeychain, Linux: gnome-keyring/libsecret), which provide single-factor authentication support for username/password only. GCM replaces both the .NET Framework-based Git Credential Manager for Windows and the Java-based Git Credential Manager for Mac and Linux. Git Credential Manager is currently available for Windows, macOS, and Linux*. GCM only works with HTTP(S) remotes; you can still use Git with SSH. -

lint-staged
Run linters on git staged files
Run linters against staged git files and don't let anything slip into your code base! Linting makes more sense when run before committing your code. By doing so you can ensure no errors go into the repository and enforce code style. But running a lint process on a whole project is slow, and linting results can be irrelevant. Ultimately you only want to lint files that will be committed. This project contains a script that will run arbitrary shell tasks with a list of staged files as an argument, filtered by a specified glob pattern. Linter commands work on a subset of all staged files, defined by a glob pattern. lint-staged uses micromatch for matching files. The concept of lint-staged is to run configured linter tasks (or other tasks) on files that are staged in git. lint-staged will always pass a list of all staged files to the task, and ignoring any files should be configured in the task itself. -

LazyGit
Simple terminal UI for git commands
You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command-line program to step through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, you have to edit an arcane patch file by hand? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realize that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just check out the branch directly? If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you. -

posh-git
A PowerShell environment for Git
posh-git is a PowerShell module which provides Git/PowerShell integration. The prompt within Git repositories can show the current branch and the state of files (additions, modifications, deletions) within. Provides tab completion for common commands when using git. Prompt formatting, among other things, can be customized. Displaying file status in the git prompt for a very large repo can be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off file status entirely, you can disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths. PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status. -

GIT quick statistics
An efficient way to access various statistics in git repository
git-quick-stats is a simple and efficient way to access various statistics in a git repository. Any git repository may contain tons of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because there are a gadzillion options to a gadzillion git commands. For those who prefer to utilize command-line options, git-quick-stats also has a non-interactive mode supporting both short and long options. You can change to the legacy color scheme by toggling the variable _MENU_THEME between default and legacy. You can set variable _GIT_LIMIT for limited output. It will affect the "changelogs" and "branch tree" options. You can also exclude files from the stats. Note that it works with any alphanumeric, glob, or regex that git respects. -
22
Logseq
A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management
Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source knowledge base that works on top of local plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files. Use it to write, organize and share your thoughts, keep your to-do list, and build your own digital garden. Logseq is a platform for knowledge management and collaboration. It focuses on privacy, longevity, and user control. The server will never store or analyze your private notes. Your data are plain text files and we currently support both Markdown and Emacs Org-mode (more to be added soon). In the unlikely event that the website is down or cannot be maintained, your data is, and will always be yours. No data lock-in, no proprietary formats, you can edit the same Markdown/Org-mode file with any tools at the same time. Connect your [[ideas]] and [[thoughts]] with Logseq. Your knowledge graph grows just as your brain generates and connects neurons from new knowledge and ideas. -

Conventional Changelog
Generate changelogs and release notes from a project's commit messages
The conventional-changelog repo is managed as a monorepo; it's composed of many npm packages. It's recommended you use the high-level standard-version library, which is a drop-in replacement for npm's version command, handling automated version bumping, tagging, and CHANGELOG generation. Alternatively, if you'd like to move towards completely automating your release process as an output from CI/CD, consider using semantic-release. We specifically limit our support to LTS versions of Node, not because this package won't work on other versions, but because we have a limited amount of time, and supporting LTS offers the greatest return on that investment. It's possible this package will work correctly on newer versions of Node. It may even be possible to use this package on older versions of Node, though that's more unlikely as we'll make every effort to take advantage of features available in the oldest LTS version we support. -
24
ripgrep
Regex pattern directory search tool that respects your .gitignore
ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support. -
25
Dolt
Dolt, it's Git for data
Dolt is a SQL database that you can fork, clone, branch, merge, push and pull just like a git repository. Connect to Dolt just like any MySQL database to run queries or update the data using SQL commands. Use the command line interface to import CSV files, commit your changes, push them to a remote, or merge your teammate's changes. All the commands you know for Git work exactly the same for Dolt. Git versions files, Dolt versions tables. It's like Git and MySQL had a baby. We also built DoltHub, a place to share Dolt databases. We host public data for free. If you want to host your own version of DoltHub, we have DoltLab. If you want us to run a Dolt server for you, we have Hosted Dolt. MySQL comes with a MySQL server called mysqld and a MySQL client called mysql. You're only interested in the client. After following the instructions from MySQL's documentation, make sure you have a copy of the mysql client on your path.
Open Source Git Software Guide
Open source Git software is an advanced version control system that helps developers to track changes in code. It was originally developed by Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux operating system, and it has since become one of the most popular version control systems available today. Open source Git works by storing different versions of a project or codebase as "snapshots" in time that can be accessed at any point during development. This allows developers to go back and review each version of a project, which helps them identify errors faster and collaborate more efficiently when working on large projects with multiple contributors.
Git also makes collaboration much easier among distributed teams, allowing developers located all over the world to work together on a single project without having to worry about file synchronization issues. Git allows for both asynchronous collaboration (where changes are synced when everyone is ready) as well as real-time collaboration (where changes are immediately visible). Additionally, because it is open source, anyone can access its codebase and customize it according to their own needs and preferences.
Finally, open source Git provides security features such as authentication measures -- including certificate authentication and SSH keys -- that help protect against unauthorized access of confidential data stored in the repository. Additionally, user permissions can be configured so only specific users have access to certain branches or files within projects stored in the repository. All these features make open source Git an invaluable tool for developers around the world who need an efficient way to manage complex projects involving multiple contributors over long periods of time.
Features Offered by Open Source Git Software
The open source Git software provides a number of features to make it easy for developers to collaborate, share, manage and track changes within their projects. The following are the key features of Git:
- Repository Hosting: By hosting your project on the popular open source platform, you can have many users working independently on different branches of the same project at once. This ensures that all team members are up-to-date with the latest codebase and can easily collaborate with one another.
- Version Control System: By using version control system in Git, you can easily track your previous revisions and quickly switch between any two versions without losing any data. It enables you to create snapshots of your work by committing regular changes in a repository which makes it easier to find out which lines were changed when an issue occurred.
- Branching/Merging Support: With branching/merging support in Git, it becomes easier for developers to experiment with new ideas or take several approaches towards solving a problem without worrying about conflicting with existing ones. Merging process is also simplified as it automatically recognizes common ancestors and resolves conflicts if there are any while merging two branches into one main branch.
- Distributed Architecture: The distributed architecture feature allows users to clone or download full copies of remote repositories onto their local systems thereby ensuring that they always have access to the latest updates from all other collaborators even when they’re not connected to the network. Additionally, disconnected hosts can continue working on their own feature branch uninterruptedly until all changes are merged back into main branch later on.
- Security Features: The security features included in Git ensure that only authorized personnel have access to particular repositories making sure that sensitive information remains safe from unauthorized third parties or malicious attacks. Additional security measures such as signing off commits allow developers verify each component for accuracy before pushing them up for review by others within team collaboration setting; thus reducing chances of errors significantly anywhere down the line during production cycle.
Types of Open Source Git Software
- Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS): These are open source software platforms that allow a team of developers to control changes made to the codebase of a software project. They provide access to a distributed repository of files along with version control and multiple workflows for collaboration between developers.
- Source Code Management (SCM) Tools: These tools help developers track and manage different versions of a software program’s source code in an organized manner. SCMs often include features such as conflict resolution, labeling, tagging, branching, history tracking, and more.
- Issue-Tracking Systems: Also known as bug-tracking systems, these tools enable teams to monitor reported bugs or issues within their projects. Features may include the ability to assign tasks or issues to specific users for resolution, or tracking bug resolution progress over time. Many issue-tracking systems also offer integration with source code management tools such as Git or SVN so that changes can be tracked across all components of the development stack in one place.
- Continuous Integration (CI) Tools: CI Tools are used by development teams for automated testing and building scripts that integrate various development processes into one workflow for faster engineering cycles. Some CI tools allow continuous delivery through automated deployments directly from the version control system (e.g., Git).
- Platform Hosting Services: These provide hosting options such as remote servers and cloud services where developers can push their Git projects online and have them constantly monitored for any updates that occur in the master branch. This allows team members anywhere around the world to collaborate more efficiently on projects without having to install anything locally on their machines, while keeping everyone updated with manual backups at regular intervals if needed.
Advantages Provided by Open Source Git Software
- Cost Savings: Open source Git software is free to use and available for anyone to download, meaning that businesses can save money on expensive software fees.
- Increased productivity: Git simplifies the process of sharing code across multiple developers. This allows development teams to quickly make changes without having to constantly coordinate with one another.
- Easy Collaboration: With open source Git, collaboration between different developers can happen in a much more streamlined way. Each user can easily see changes made by others and incorporate those changes into their own workflows with ease.
- Flexibility: With its modular architecture, open source Git allows users to customize their versions of the software according to their own specific needs. This makes it easier for them to adapt the platform for their projects as necessary.
- Security: All open source Git repositories are protected by encryption keys and hashes, which help protect code from being stolen or tampered with by malicious actors. This ensures that all contributors have access only to legal copies of the project’s codebase.
Types of Users That Use Open Source Git Software
- Developers - Professionals who use Git software to write code, build applications, and deploy them on the web.

How Much Does Open Source Git Software Cost?
Open source Git software is completely free and open-source. You can download it from its official website, or even get the source code and compile it yourself if you are up for an adventure. It doesn't cost a dime. There are additional services that come with it such as private hosting, issue tracking, pull requests and so on. Depending on what service you choose to use (GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket) the pricing can vary, but generally they offer free plans for public repositories as well as paid plans for private ones. So in conclusion, git software itself is totally free of charge.
What Software Does Open Source Git Software Integrate With?
Open source Git software can integrate with many types of software, such as IDEs (Integrated Development Environments), code editors, and source-code management tools. For example, Visual Studio Code has an integrated Git support feature which allows developers the ability to commit changes, create branches and pull requests directly from the editor. Additionally, other version control systems such as SVN and Mercurial can connect to open source Git repositories through a platform like GitHub. This makes it possible for teams to collaborate on projects collaboratively by sharing their workflows across different tracking systems.

How Users Can Get Started With Open Source Git Software
Using open source Git software is a great way to manage and keep track of your code and projects. It's an invaluable tool for developers, especially those working in teams on complex projects. To get started using open source Git software, there are a few things you'll need to do:
- Install the Git Software - Before you can begin using Git, you must first download and install the appropriate version onto your computer. Depending on your operating system, this process may be slightly different so make sure you're downloading the right version.
- Configure Your System - Once installed, it's important that you configure your system by setting up basic configuration options like usernames, emails addresses and settings before beginning any actual development work in GitHub.
- Initiation Your Project Repository – After configuring your settings, create a project folder where all of your development work will live then initialize it with Git by running the “Git init” command from inside that directory or folder. This allows Git to start tracking changes made within that directory as well as set up all necessary files needed for proper workflow management via Github.
- Add Files & Make Commits – Next, add all project files into the repository by running “Git add” followed by file name commands while still keeping within the project directory in order to add them into our repository as tracked objects that can be modified as needed throughout our workflow process via Git/GitHub later on down the road when we need them again later on downstream in our workflows which really help with long term scalability when developing large applications or systems. Additionally make sure to commit those changes out along with leaving valid commit messages associated directly with each change from within the same command line environment lest those changes become lost should disaster strike at any given time during our workflow creation processes itself.
- Create Branches & Pull Requests – Branching is another core component of successful GitHub usage that helps us track versions of our application being actively worked upon simultaneously without causing conflicts between them throughout their various stages towards deployment apart from one another respectively like we would need if multiple people were trying access or modify pieces of code at once in order to avoid potential issues arising over conflicting updates likely crashing apps among other more serious things. As such whenever branching off new Jira branches use `Git checkout -b` followed by branch name whenever creating new ones otherwise they won't be able to push changes back upstream once complete nor pull requests submitted either making collaboration extremely difficult if not impossible altogether thus rendering remote cooperation impossible unless everyone had exact same machine setup which thankfully GitHub makes fairly simple..
- Use Github Hosted Solutions –Finally utilize Github’s hosted solutions such as its online editor which allows users collaborate on code snippets remotely much easier than before thanks due its implementation feature rich GUI based user interaction design elements built directly into it itself totally separate from CLI shells altogether allowing even novice coders proficiently manage their own branches reps team members’ commits both independently apart collaboratively depending situation needing addressed done thus providing unparalleled level flexibility respect both independent collective open source developments amongst countless other scenarios available restricted only imagination mindsets most productive environments conducive constructive progress success achieving long term sustainability projects website related endeavors just make sure whichever users choose follow instructions provided documentation order ensure smooth unhindered beginnings hopefully conclude fruitful fruitful ends ahead.
