## What it is
SCM Breeze is a set of bash and zsh shell scripts that enhance git workflows with numbered file shortcuts, keyboard bindings, and a repository index with tab completion. It integrates directly into the shell so modified files can be referenced by number or range in any git or system command.

## Use cases
- add changed files to git by number instead of typing paths
- use numbered shortcuts for git status output
- quickly diff, reset, or checkout files by index
- jump between git repositories with tab completion
- speed up repetitive git commands with shell aliases and key bindings

## When to choose
- you use bash or zsh and work with git daily from the terminal
- you frequently stage, diff, or checkout many changed files and want to avoid typing paths
- you want a repository index for fast switching between projects

## When to avoid
- you use a shell other than bash or zsh
- you prefer GUI git clients or minimal shell setups
- you don't want to install ruby, which some commands require
