It's been a while - Git needs an update for the next generation of programmers.

Git is a great set of rails, but it's too complex for beginners. Vibe coders and the next generation would likely appreciate a simpler tool.

Dot is a simplified version of Git, using Git rails.

You can always default to git commands if you want- there is no lock-in here.

How it works

Start

dot start https://github.com/user/repo.git

git init && git remote add origin ... && git add -A && git commit -m "initial commit" && git branch -M main && git push -u origin main

Push (upload your changes)

dot push

# git add -A && git commit -m "2026-03-29 19:44 -- modified 2 files" && git push

Save

dot save

# git add -A && git commit -m "2026-03-29 19:44 -- modified 2 files"

Pull (retrieve changes from the source)

dot pull

git pull --rebase

Undo

dot undo

git revert HEAD --no-edit

Fix the last save.

dot amend "better message"

git add -A && git commit --amend -m "better message"

Throw away uncommitted changes.

dot discard

git checkout -- . && git clean -fd

Add a file to .gitignore.

dot ignore .env

echo ".env" >> .gitignore

---

Anything else goes straight to git.

dot status
dot log --oneline
