FWIW, in case people aren't familiar with the term "porcelain", it refers to higher-level tools for working with git. (As opposed to lower-level "plumbing" commands).

- WorldMaker 7y agoIndeed, it's an old and somewhat out-of-favor term that I used partly as an in-joke. (At one point everyone assumed the entire `git` command would be replaced for most users by a true porcelain interface, but that never really quite happened in that way as most people just standardized on `git` on the command line rather than any of the porcelain attempts. Instead `git` has sometimes directly got some of the high level commands and polish that was expected to be meant for porcelain tools.)
