Commented above as a reply to @calpaterson; I'll paste the same comment below.

> p is for the average Python developer who just needs to work with a different version of Python. Suppose one wants to start using the latest development release of Python; they just run `p latest` and p will take care of the rest.

At this point, p makes no attempt to manage pip versions. I have added this feature to the TODO and it will be implemented sometime in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion! :)

I was so caught up in training Ralph, I forgot to add a license!

I've settled on GNU GPL v3. Thanks for the catch. :)

I'm a 15-year-old who wrote a fairly successful (800+ stars on GitHub!) wrapper for Git.

What if someone adds in a .gitignore file that ignores everything except for itself?

Evil? >:D

Re:Gg – Git Shortcuts, Colored Outputs, and More on Sunday March 08, 2015 @01:57PM (#9166418)
I am currently working on support for branches, which I hope to release in the near future.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Re:Gg – Git Shortcuts, Colored Outputs, and More on Sunday March 08, 2015 @01:54PM (#9166400)
The only output I didn't fully design on my own was the log command (`gg l`). I used information found on this Gist (https://gist.github.com/textarcana/1306223) to retrieve the log information in JSON. From there, I designed an output style on my own.

Hope that answers your question. :)

Branches are a planned feature, check the TODO.

If you would like to contribute to the addition of branches, that would be great. :)

There's more to the package than just aliases.

For example, the gg s command presents you with an easy to look at a quick glance status of your repository. In addition, there are aesthetic changes that increase the intuitiveness of Git itself.

Here's a screenshot of the gg s command in action: http://i.imgur.com/qXSPuv4.jpg.

Firstly, thanks for the feedback. That sounds like a great idea, although it may be painful to implement.

I'll definitely add this to the TODO. :)
