Git Tool

Simplify checking out your Git repositories in a structured directory space

Git Tool is a powerful tool for managing your Git repositories, storing them in a consistent folder structure and simplifying access when you need it. The best place to get started is by reading our documentation.

Features

• Quickly open repositories whether they are already cloned locally or not, using your favourite Git services and a concise folder structure.
• Launch applications within the context of your repositories quickly and consistently.
• Weekly scratchpads to help organize random work and doodles with minimal effort.
• Aliases to make opening your most common repositories as quick as possible.
• Fast autocompletion on all platforms with support for "sequence search" (ssgt matches SierraSoftworks/git-tool) as found in Sublime and VSCode.
