It provides aliases and a git-forgit executable for staging, logs, diffs, branches, stashes, blame, worktrees, and related operations. ### Project history The upstream README describes forgit as a lightweight utility for using git more efficiently, powered by fzf, and supports Bash, Zsh, and Fish. The license file records Wenxuan Zhang's copyright beginning in 2017, and the project has continued into date-based monthly-style releases such as 26.05.0. ### Adoption history forgit's adoption follows the shell-plugin route: zplug, zgen, antigen, fisher, omf, zinit, oh-my-zsh, sheldon, Homebrew, AUR, and manual sourcing are all documented upstream. The GitHub releases page shows a regular date-based release stream in the 2020s, while the README advertises Homebrew installation and AUR packages maintained by the project's developers. ### How it is used Users source a shell plugin or put bin/git-forgit on PATH, then invoke aliases such as ga for interactive git add, glo for git log, gd for git diff, gss for stashes, and gwt for worktrees. forgit depends on fzf 0.60.0 or newer and can also be used as git forgit subcommands when git-forgit is available on PATH. ### Why package nerds care forgit is a compact example of how fzf turned Git porcelain into interactive terminal workflows without replacing Git itself. It is package-manager interesting because installation is mostly about shell integration paths, completions, aliases, and dependency versioning rather than a daemon or library ABI. ### Timeline - 2017: The license file records the start of the forgit copyright range. - 2022: The tag list includes 22.11.0, showing the project on date-based releases by late 2022. - 2025: The release stream includes monthly 25.x releases. - 2026: The GitHub releases page lists 26.05.0, published on May 1, 2026. ### Related projects - forgit is built around Git and fzf, and its README links fzf as the required interactive selector. - It is adjacent to shell plugin managers such as zplug, zgen, antigen, fisher, omf, zinit, oh-my-zsh, and sheldon because those are first-class installation paths. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** forgit - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [fzf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fzf/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [git-integration](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-integration/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, shell, version-control. - [git-recent](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-recent/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fzf, git, version-control. - [aicommit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aicommit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [aicommit2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aicommit2/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [aicommits](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aicommits/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [braid](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/braid/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [cig](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cig/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [codeberg-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/codeberg-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [lazygit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/lazygit/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
