also: I'm trying to make a list of useful Git command line tools

So far I have: lazygit, tig, git-absorb, git-filter-repo, git-imerge, git-annex, git-lfs, delta, starship (for a shell prompt), git-prompt.sh, and pre-commit.com

what am I missing?

@b0rk how far afield from vanilla git are you interested in? I use graphite daily to stack branches, but that’s a pretty thick layer on top of git itself.

@lawbecke interested in anything as long as it's strictly a command line tool!

@b0rk there’s a lot more graphite wants you to use (and pay for), but the CLI gives you everything I actually use.

@b0rk (and the non-CLI stuff is optional, the command line tool is perfectly usable standalone)
