gitwise
Python CLI for optimized Git workflows and coding agents integration.
gitwise addresses three daily pain points:
- AI context bloat from raw
git diff - Slow repositories without modern Git maintenance settings
- Unsafe commit flows that bypass GPG signing rules
Requirements
- Python >= 3.10
- git >= 2.29
- macOS or Linux
Install
Pick one:
curl | bash (recommended, auto-installs uv if missing):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drzioner/gitwise/main/install.sh | bash
uv (if you already use uv):
uv tool install gitwise-cli
From source (development only):
git clone https://github.com/drzioner/gitwise.git
cd gitwise
uv sync
uv run python -m gitwise doctor
Update an existing installation:
uv tool upgrade gitwise-cli # if installed via uv
# or re-run the curl | bash installer, which always pulls latest
Uninstall:
uv tool uninstall gitwise-cli

GPG and Safety Model
setup and setup-agents never modify commit.gpgsign or user.signingkey.
- Git layer:
setupmanages hooks safely (--hooks-mode preserve|native|legacy|skip) to validate signing key availability and conventional commits. - Agent layer: deny-rules block
--no-gpg-sign,--no-verify, and-c commit.gpgsign=false.
