I would assume that the whole point of the project is to be able to do SQLish queries on a git repo, and that it was written by and for people who are familiar with SQL and have a preference for it over other query languages. And they probably do enjoy writing SQL statements on the command line, however uncommon that may or may not be.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoSeems to be very narrow group. How is this relevant to HN? Flagged the story.
- jsmeaton 10y agoYou flagged the story because you don't like SQL on the CLI? Come on. Whether or not you enjoy writing SQL on the CLI, SQL is a fine language for querying data, and is probably more common than xpath. JQuery seems like a strange choice too.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoI just fail to praise the attitude. "Let's faithfully reproduce the looks of 30 y.o. technology, pseudographic tables included, with make-believe over git".
- Rudisimo 10y agoWell, if you feel so strongly about it, why not build your own tool to support the "preferred" query language?
