The approach of this experiment is interesting. But, as an experienced git user, I think it does not include easy access to very powerful and easy-to-learn features of git like "git * -p" which bring some interactivity in git commands.
- hobo_mark 10y agoI assumed all `git` commands would still be available even if one might prefer `gl` for some tasks, am I missing something?
- MitchellCash 10y agoNo, that's also my understanding. "Gitless is an experiment to see what happens if you put a simple veneer on an app that changes the underlying concepts. Because Gitless is implemented on top of Git (could be considered what Git pros call a "porcelain" of Git), you can always fall back on Git."
- taneq 10y agoAs an experienced git user, are you not outside the target audience? From a quick read through, Gitless seems like it's designed for non-git-users who need git access.
- masklinn 10y agoThe text specifically points to `commit -p`. It could also have a `checkout -p` (e.g. both mercurial and darcs have interactive reverts)
