Tagged releases began with v0.1.0 in 2015 and continued through the 0.4 series, with the README documenting installation by PATH, Homebrew, or pip. The toolset follows Git's extension convention: executables named git-multi, git-relation, git-old-branches, git-recent, and git-semver become subcommands available as git multi, git relation, git old-branches, git recent, and git semver. ### Adoption history git-plus is a niche workflow package rather than a platform tool. Homebrew packaging made the command collection easy to install on macOS, while the README's pip and PATH instructions kept it usable as a script bundle for developers managing multiple checkouts. ### How it is used Practitioners use git multi to run one Git command across sibling repositories, git relation to compare two refs as ahead, behind, equal, or diverged, git old-branches to identify stale local or remote branches, git recent to order branches by last commit time, and git semver to list or create version tags. Its most durable use case is local repository housekeeping: checking many working trees, comparing branch state, deleting old branches after confirmation, and moving quickly among recently touched branches. ### Why package nerds care git-plus is representative of the lightweight Git-extension culture in which shell or Python scripts are distributed as package-manager formulae and become first-class Git verbs. It overlaps with standalone tools such as git-recent but packages several small workflows together. ### Timeline - 2013: Repository initialized with git-multi documentation. - 2015: v0.1.0 tag published. - 2016: v0.3.0 tag published. - 2023: v0.4.10 tag published. ### Related projects - git-recent overlaps with the branch-selection workflow provided by git-plus. - Git's external command convention makes each git-plus executable available as a git subcommand. ### 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:** git-plus - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Conflicts With:** git-recent - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, 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. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [git-pages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-pages/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, git-extension, version-control. - [git-pkgs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-pkgs/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, git-extension, version-control. - [git-quick-stats](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-quick-stats/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, git-extension, version-control. - [git-recent](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-recent/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, git-extension, version-control. - [git-remote-codecommit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-remote-codecommit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, git-extension, version-control. - [git-revise](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-revise/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, git-extension, version-control. - [garden](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/garden/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, multi-repo, version-control. - [git-delete-merged-branches](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-delete-merged-branches/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: branch-management, cli, developer-tools, git, version-control. - [git-machete](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-machete/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
