Show HN: Gut – An easy-to-use CLI for Git

I've been using git for years and do `rebase -i` daily, bisect many spooky commands. However, I still don't know how I can update a branch and switch to it in one motion:

- not just update `origin/branch` - not checkout `branch` and sync it with `origin/brach`

and it drives me crazy.

Not aware of a built in way, but if you use bash or similar as your shell you can do an alias like

  git config --global alias.chpull '!f() { git checkout "$1" && git pull; }; f'

Didn't think about alias for this even though I have alias for many other things, that should prevent `direnv` from triggering between checkout and pull. Thanks.
