Git is an awesome tool – so awesome that it has a vast plethora of options and commands to do just about anything. Bit attempts to alleviate some of that pain.

Thanks for making such a cool tool. Does it intergrate anything like gitflow ?

Next up for anyone willing to take the bite: Build a unified for CLI for Mercurial and Git. It's a challenge but it's worth it :)

Thanks! Right now it has no special configuration or setup as I want it to be as easy to install as possible (simply run a curl command or go command). Perhaps down the road it will – totally depends on what direction bit will go based on feedback from users :)

It’s not mentioned in the README, but is WSL2 on the Windows Terminal app supported?

I could run gnome terminal but then I have to configure X11 and that’s a pain.

Thanks, this looks awesome.

I'm not sure. I encourage you to try it out. If it ends up not working please file an issue and we'll get it sorted out.

While WSL1 had a bunch of compatibility caveats, WSL2 is just a VM. It's generally safe to assume that everything is compatible until evidence surfaces otherwise.

Will do, I’ll give it a shot sometime this week and report back.

Still not sure how much of a niche WSL is, but it’s my daily driver.
