## Project history and usage

ggc is a Go-based Git helper that combines short, scriptable Git subcommands with an interactive searchable workflow builder.

### Project history

The bmf-san/ggc repository was created in June 2025. Its release history records v0.0.1 and the v1.0 series in August 2025, followed by later major-version releases as the project expanded its command registry, documentation site, recipes, configuration, aliases, and keybinding support.

### Adoption history

ggc fits a familiar developer-tools niche: it does not replace Git, but wraps common Git actions in memorable verbs and offers a fuzzy finder for composing multi-step flows. The README contrasts it with raw git, lazygit, tig, and gitui by emphasizing that the same commands work both as one-shot shell commands and as interactive workflow steps.

### How it is used

Practitioners run commands such as `ggc status`, `ggc add`, `ggc commit`, and branch-management verbs directly, or launch `ggc` without arguments to search commands, queue steps, review the workflow, and execute the pipeline.

### Why package nerds care

For package-manager users, ggc is notable as a compact Go CLI distributed through Homebrew, Go install, and prebuilt binaries, with generated command documentation that keeps its interactive and non-interactive surfaces aligned.

### Timeline

- 2025: The GitHub repository was created.
- 2025: v0.0.1 and v1.0.0 were published.
- 2026: v8 releases appeared in the repository release feed.

### Related projects

- The project positions itself alongside Git, lazygit, tig, and gitui while serving a different role: scriptable Git shortcuts plus workflow composition.
