Git-For-Idiots (solo)

Many people are overwhelmed by Git's complexity. I am not here to judge that.

However, having online backups and version control is still a major nice-to-have, especially when working with CLI AI agents like Claude Code or conducting "vibe coding".

That's why this repository breaks down the whole Git functionality to four basic commands which allow full Git use including rollbacks and version management.

Please be aware that this is for solo projects only on macOS, and please also be aware that every experienced coder will disrespect you for using this. However, I still love to make things as simple as they can be, and this repository achieves exactly that.
