✨ Features

• 🚀 Workflow-driven UI: Choose scenarios (Init, Clone, Commit, PRs, etc.) from a sidebar
• 🧩 Pure Git-CLI automation: No token needed for local Git commands (init, add, commit, push, pull, branch, stash, merge, log)
• 🔐 Optional GitHub API: Create repos & pull-requests when you paste your PAT
• 🌐 Persistent Repo URL: Enter once, use across all workflows
• 🧠 Educational: Previews actual Git commands, shows output and errors
• ⚙️ Settings: Edit user.name / user.email, manage PAT, reset .git

---

🚀 Quickstart

1. Install

   pip install gitstarter
   

Run: gitstarter

Follow the UI

Paste your repo URL at the top (optional for local-only work).

Select a workflow in the sidebar (e.g. “Init / Reset Git Repo”, “Commit & Push”).

Click buttons to run Git commands—no terminal typing needed.

🛡️ Security No telemetry: gitstarter does not phone home or collect usage data.

Token safety: Your GitHub PAT is stored only in Streamlit session state and the environment; it is never logged.

Error handling: All errors from Git CLI or GitHub API are caught and displayed in the UI.
