Legit is a complementary command-line tool for Git that simplifies common feature-branch workflows, inspired by GitHub for Mac. It provides commands like sw, sync, publish, unpublish, and undo that automatically handle stashing, merging, and pushing.

Use cases

• switch git branches without manually stashing changes
• sync a branch with stash, fetch, rebase, and push in one command
• publish or unpublish branches on a remote
• undo the last commit from the command line
• list branches with publication status and wildcard matching
• simplify git for developers new to version control

When to choose

• you want a simpler, GitHub-for-Mac-style git workflow in the terminal
• you frequently switch branches with uncommitted changes
• you want one-command branch syncing with automatic stash/unstash
• you want convenient git aliases for common branch operations

When to avoid

• you need full git functionality - legit only covers a small subset of commands
• you are a git veteran who prefers explicit control over stashing and merging
• you need a graphical git client
• you require actively developed tooling - releases are infrequent
