history
Project history and usage
git-plus is a collection of small Git helper commands for multi-repository work, branch relation checks, old branch cleanup, recent branch listing, and semantic-version tag creation.
Project history
The repository started in May 2013 with git-multi-oriented commits and later collected related Git scripts under one package. 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.
