    A curated list of amazingly awesome Git tools, resources and shiny things

  • At the time of this writing, Git's been with us for over a decade and a half. During that time the ecosystem has absolutely exploded. From the rise of GitHub and GitLab to the myriad of new subcommands (just look at all this cool stuff), clearly Git has seen widespread adoption and success.

  • gitless

    A simple version control system built on top of Git

  • One such project is the Gitless initiative which has a Python wrapper around Git proper providing far-simpler workflows based on some solid research. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Gitless' Python codebase has had active development recently, which doesn't inspire much confidence.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • jj

    A Git-compatible VCS that is both simple and powerful

  • An alternative project to both Git and Gitless is a little Rust project called Jujutsu. According to the project page Jujutsu aims, at least in part, to preserve compatibility with Git's on-disk format. Jujutsu also boasts its own "native" format letting you choose between using the jj binary as a front-end for Git data or as a net-new tool.
