  A Git-compatible VCS that is both simple and powerful

There's also Jujitsu that looks a bit more interesting IMO:

Or Pijul if you want to give up on Git compatibility.

  A maintained fork of the simple git interface (by goldstar611)

• idiot-proof-git

  2 16 5.6 Shell

  Idiot proofing git with simple aliases to your gitconfig

90% of my git problems I’ve solved with two aliases: “git publish” and “git synced”

Publish (or pub for short) pushes to the remote (doing the right thing to safety update it).

Synced updates the local branch with the trunkiest-trunk (upstream preferred over origin, using whichever one of main or master exists)

  encrypted git hosting should be easy

ff-only is the real git superpower.

a linear, immutable, series of commits in the only branch that is suffered to exist.

git, the good parts.

it also pairs well with a simplified remote[1].

• undotree

  35 3,530 5.8 Vim Script

  The undo history visualizer for VIM

What's helped me much more lately is undotree for vim [1]. It basically logs every single time a file is saved. Its much more useful because commits have to be made by humans and they may not do it often (and usually there is an incentive for "clean or working commits"). There have been many times where I went back to copy something from the undotree.
