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. -

Git Large File Storage
Git extension for versioning large files
An open source Git extension for versioning large files. Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise. Download and install the Git command line extension. Once downloaded and installed, set up Git LFS for your user account. In each Git repository where you want to use Git LFS, select the file types you'd like Git LFS to manage (or directly edit your .gitattributes). You can configure additional file extensions at any time. Host more in your Git repositories. External file storage makes it easy to keep your repository at a manageable size. Download less data. This means faster cloning and fetching from repositories that deal with large files. Work like you always do on Git, no need for additional commands, secondary storage systems, or toolsets. -

Delta
A viewer for git and diff output
Code evolves, and we all spend time studying diffs. Delta aims to make this both efficient and enjoyable: it allows you to make extensive changes to the layout and styling of diffs, as well as allowing you to stay arbitrarily close to the default git/diff output. Language syntax highlighting with color themes. Within-line highlights based on a Levenshtein edit inference algorithm. Git style strings (foreground color, background color, font attributes) are supported for >20 stylable elements. Delta provides Stylable box/line decorations to draw attention to commit, file and hunk header sections. Support for Git's color-moved feature. Code can be copied directly from the diff. n and N keybindings to move between files in large diffs, and between diffs in log -p views. Commit hashes can be formatted as terminal hyperlinks to the GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket page. Delta acts as a pager for git's output, and delta in turn passes its own output on to a "real" pager. -

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 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. -

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. -

git-flow
Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations
git-flow is the original set of Git extensions that implements Vincent Driessen’s well-known branching model via a convenient command-line interface. Instead of memorizing the choreography, you run high-level commands like git flow init, git flow feature start/finish, git flow release start/finish, and git flow hotfix to create, merge, and tag branches following a consistent structure. The model separates long-lived master (or main) and develop branches, encourages topic branches for features, and formalizes release and hotfix flows, which helps teams coordinate work and control what reaches production. The scripts enforce naming conventions, guide merges in the right direction, and add version tags to releases so you keep a clean, auditable history. Teams often adopt git-flow to make branching and release management predictable, especially when multiple developers are shipping features and bug fixes in parallel. -

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. -

Tig
Text-mode interface for git
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly as a Git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various Git commands. Tig allows you to browse changes in a Git repository and can additionally act as a pager for output of various Git commands. When used as a pager, it will display input from stdin and colorize it. When browsing repositories, Tig uses the underlying Git commands to present the user with various views, such as summarized commit log and showing the commit with the log message, diffstat, and the diff. If stdin is a pipe, any log or diff options will be ignored and the pager view will be opened loading data from stdin. The pager mode can be used for colorizing output from various Git commands. All Git command options specified on the command line will be passed to the given command and all will be shell quoted before they are passed to the shell. -
22
GLab
The GitLab CLI tool
GLab is an open source GitLab CLI tool bringing GitLab to your terminal next to where you are already working with git and your code without switching between windows and browser tabs. Work with issues, merge requests, watch running pipelines directly from your CLI among other features. Inspired by gh, the official GitHub CLI tool. glab is available for repositories hosted on GitLab.com and self-hosted GitLab Instances. glab supports multiple authenticated GitLab instances and automatically detects the authenticated hostname from the remotes available in the working git directory. Please take care when running scripts in this fashion. Consider peeking at the install script itself and verify that it works as intended. glab is available on the KISS Linux Community Repo as gitlab-glab. If you already have the community repo configured in your KISS_PATH you can install glab through your terminal. -

git-flow-next
Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations
git-flow-next is a branching model and a set of command-line extensions tailored to enforce that branching model for Git repositories. The underlying workflow was first described in 2010 and is designed around two long-lived branches (master (or main) for production-ready code, and develop for integration) and multiple supporting short-lived branches (feature, release, hotfix) for day-to-day development. With git-flow, each type of branch has explicit purpose and merge rules: features merge back into develop, release branches prepare towards master, and hotfixes branch off master for urgent repairs. The repository you referenced provides the actual shell scripts (and wrappers) implementing sub‐commands like git flow feature start, git flow release finish, etc., making the workflow operational rather than purely conceptual. -
25
Onefetch
Git repository summary on your terminal
Onefetch is a command-line Git information tool written in Rust that displays project information and code statistics for a local Git repository directly on your terminal. The tool is completely offline, no network access is required. By default, the repo's information is displayed alongside the dominant language's logo, but you can further configure onefetch to instead use an image, on supported terminals, text input, or nothing at all. It automatically detects open source licenses from texts and provides the user with valuable information like code distribution, pending changes, number of dependencies (by package manager), top contributors (by number of commits), the size on disk, creation date, LOC (lines of code), etc. Onefetch can be configured via command-line flags to display exactly what you want, the way you want it to: you can customize ASCII/Text formatting, disable info lines, ignore files & directories, and output in multiple formats (JSON, Yaml), etc.
