Bit is a modernized Git CLI built on top of git that provides sensible defaults, command/flag suggestions, and autocompletion for files and branch names. It adds convenience commands like `bit sync`, `bit release`, and `bit pr` while remaining fully compatible with git.

Use cases

• autocomplete git commands and flags
• simplify git workflow with a sync command
• checkout pull requests from github from the cli
• get git repo stats and config info quickly
• reduce merge conflicts with automatic branch fast-forwarding
• use git aliases with command suggestions

When to choose

• you want a friendlier git experience with suggestions and autocompletion
• you want simplified commands like bit sync and bit release
• you want a single-binary git wrapper that stays fully git-compatible

When to avoid

• you prefer plain git or scripted git workflows without interactive prompts
• you need actively developed tooling - the latest release is from early 2023
• you rely on git features not covered by bit's wrapper
