forgit is a collection of interactive Git commands powered by fzf. It provides short shell commands for operations that would normally involve typing file names, branches, tags or commit hashes, replacing them with searchable terminal selectors.
The project covers considerably more than interactive staging. Its commands span repository history, branches, file restoration, stashes, rebases, fixups and worktrees, making it useful as a lightweight interactive layer over Git rather than a full-screen Git client.
This is free and open source software.
