GitSith 0.0.9

git-sith

A developer-oriented Git power tool for common tasks. Because the dark side has better tools. ⚔️

Features

git sith ignore

Easily add .gitignore templates to your repository using GitHub's official template collection.

Usage:

# Add a single template
git sith ignore node

# Add multiple templates
git sith ignore node python visualstudio

# Use aliases (csharp → Dotnet, js → Node, etc.)
git sith ignore csharp js

# List all available templates
git sith ignore --list

# Show available aliases
git sith ignore --aliases

# Embrace the dark side (ignore everything)
git sith ignore

git sith force-push / git sith push

Stage all changes, commit with a message, and push to remote in one command. Perfect for quick iterations.

Usage:

# Commit with a custom message and push
git sith push "Fixed the bug"

# Let the dark side choose your commit message
git sith push
# Uses random Sith quotes like "Peace is a lie, there is only passion."

Aliases: force, force-push, push

git sith purge / git sith order-66

Remove a file from git history completely - the nuclear option. Rewrites history to eliminate all traces of a file.

Usage:

# Purge a file from all history
git sith purge secrets.txt

# Use the Order 66 alias
git sith order-66 passwords.env

# With confirmation prompt (for the weak-willed)
git sith purge secrets.txt --confirm

Aliases: purge, obliterate, destroy, 66, order-66, damnatio-memoriae, memory-hole

⚠️ Warning: This rewrites git history. After purging, you'll need to force push and collaborators will need to re-clone.

git sith help

Show help for git-sith commands. Works around the issue where git sith --help is intercepted by Git itself.

Usage:

# Show all commands
git sith help

# Show help for a specific command
git sith help ignore
git sith help purge

Installation

Option 1: Install as a .NET Global Tool (Recommended)

# Build and install locally
dotnet pack
dotnet tool install --global --add-source ./nupkg GitSith

# Or install from NuGet (once published)
dotnet tool install --global GitSith

Option 2: Build and Add to PATH

# Build the project
dotnet build -c Release

# Copy the executable to a directory in your PATH
# On Windows:
copy bin\Release\net8.0\git-sith.exe C:\YourPathDirectory\

# On Linux/macOS:
cp bin/Release/net8.0/git-sith /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-sith

Requirements

• .NET 8.0 SDK or later
• Git

How It Works

Git automatically recognizes executables named git-<subcommand> in your PATH. When you run git sith, Git looks for an executable called git-sith and executes it with any additional arguments.

Development

# Restore dependencies
dotnet restore

# Build
dotnet build

# Run locally
dotnet run -- ignore node

# Run tests (when added)
dotnet test

Roadmap

Future commands being considered:

• git sith wip - Quick WIP commits
• git sith undo - Safe undo operations
• git sith clean - Interactive cleanup
• git sith stats - Repository statistics
• git sith alias - Manage git aliases with Sith flair
