========================================
add      commitall       help           make_public    pull_branch  undo
add_url  commitf         ignore         merge          push

commit   git             make_private   pull           tag

gitbetter>help commitf
Stage and commit a list of files.
Parser help for commitf:
usage: gitbetter [-h] -m MESSAGE [-r] [files ...]

positional arguments:
  files                 List of files to stage and commit.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
                        The commit message to use.
  -r, --recursive       If a file name is not found in the current working directory, search for it in subfolders. This avoids having to type paths to files in subfolders,
                        but if you have multiple files in different subfolders with the same name that have changes they will all be staged and committed.
gitbetter>help loggy
Execute `git --oneline --name-only --abbrev-commit --graph`.

Future Features

• Redirect the output of git commands so the bindings return the output instead of only being able to print.
• Make pushing to remote after creating it smoother (make it so you don't manually have to add the url).
