Hey

Human-oriented UI for git.

What is meant by "Human-oriented UI for git"?

Git is easy, right? No, actually, git is hard. This application should make git more intuitive to use.

Why the funny name?

If we transpose the keypresses of git on a QWERTY keyboard from the right hand to the left and vice versa, we get hey. Also, hey is an informal greeting in many languages, and this application is intended to be an informal interface to git.

How does it work?

hey is just a Python wrapper for git, with more intuitive commands inspired by common git complaints.

How do I use it?

As a git wrapper, all output created by hey comes directly from git:

$ hey status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   README.md

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

$ hey diff
diff --git a/README.md b/README.md
