Undo your last git mistake with ugit

So I have been working on this little tool called ugit (and was finally able to release a stable version), the goal is to make it easier for beginner to intermediate git users to undo their last (accidental) git command. Because we are not perfect and commit mistakes.

Oh wait I deleted the auth-jwt branch without merging!! fuck

How to restore deleted branch

Wastes 5 minutes reading the thread,

Brain context switch, losses focus

Aarrgh, Git sucks

Failure is a good way to learn something new but how many times are you going to mess up with git, if your ultimate goal is to deliver the new feature in your startup as fast as possible, huh? Git is great but its not really good with developer experience (DX).

Yo bhupesh, I can just you know alias this command. Oh cool, good luck remembering that alias after 1 month when you fuck-up again.

If you are in the gang of getting things done, adding ugit might be a good choice for you.

Why ugit

  • You did an accidental git command you didn't want to.
  • You don't want to waste your time searching on how to undo ...
  • Because ugit is cool

  • Undo git push
  • Undo git branch -D (branch delete)
  • Undo git pull
  • Undo git reset
  • Undo git tag -d (tag delete)
  • Undo git stash apply
  • Undo git stash pop/drop/clear

  • Undo (Restore) a file to a previous version
  • Undo git merge
  • Undo git tag (rename a tag)
  • Undo git rebase

Ok enough talking.

What is ugit?

Its just a simple shell script with guided programmatic steps to undo your last git command, powered by FZF built for people who live and work with terminals every day.
