Hi all, I'm the creator of Bit. Bit is all about making your life just a little bit easier. It helps you spend less time fiddling with Git and more time developing code. Whether it's autocompletion at your finger tips, sorting branches by most recent, checking out PR's with ease or auto-fast-forwarding when possible - Bit has your back!

This looks great! Might not even wait till Monday to give it a shot. What does auto FF mean? I notice myself using a very streamlined dev/rc/main approach, favoring rebase over merge, with lots of linear commits to rc, move the puck ahead, then move master, using merge --ff-only.

  After a user runs `bit checkout <branch-name>` bit will run `git pull --ff-only` behind the scenes

    Neat! That is exactly what I am looking for!

Thank you for working on this, and for providing it to everyone for free & open source! A better CLI for git would be an awesome thing, for sure. Is there a bit vs. git comparison somewhere? I'm curious how close the two CLIs are. (In fact - is there a list of bit commands/args? I couldn't quite find it after skimming the README.md a couple times) In particular, are they 'close enough' that I could give this to freshman/sophomore college students (instead of git) as a starting point, and then help them transition to git later on? (This looks awesome but they'll want experience with the straight 'git' on their resume / before they arrive at their first jobs, etc )
