About Gut
Gut is a command-line client for managing Git workflows on Windows, Mac, and GNU/Linux. It includes commands to commit changes, switch or create branches, sync a local repository with a remote, explore history with fuzzy search, revert without modifying history, undo changes since the last commit, and download gitignore templates from toptal.com/developers/gitignore.
