gico 1.0.7

Gico makes your git history consistent, and your changes -- traceable

GiCo 🤌

Git commit composer, or GiCo, is your ultimate answer to "keep your commits as small as possible". Once you have staged whatever the mess you have accumulated so far, run gico, and it will make you a neat and comprehensive commit history.

git add <your files>
gico --help
gico

GiCo provides you with a zero-friction way to do this

> git log --all --decorate --oneline

e01f0cc (HEAD -> master) [bb:b] Impl | Similar message for each commit
358fcb1 [aa:a] Ref | Similar message for each commit, but different commit types
8c73fb5 [aa:a] Impl | Similar message for each commit, but different commit types
af31232 [aa:* bb:*] Impl | Stemmed representation
7f2c4bd [:b] Ref | hi
39f881c [:a] Impl | echo
4063a8e (tag: base) [:README] Impl | Yo
c9bd056 [:README] Impl |

... instead of this

> git log --all --decorate --oneline

e01f0cc (HEAD -> master) Minor changes (9999 files)
c9bd056 Initial message. Thank God, it finally works!!11
