# git-python — combination and simplification of some useful git commands

License: unclear · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 604.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

git-python is a thin wrapper around common git operations, exposing them through a `gp` command-line tool with abbreviated syntax. It bundles together operations like repository initialization, staged commits, and tag-based pushes into single commands to reduce typing and mental overhead for repetitive workflows.

The package has been unmaintained since 2020-01-08 and shows minimal adoption (2 stars). It offers no runtime dependencies but distributes as a .egg file, which creates friction with modern Python packaging practices. The unclear license status and abandoned maintenance posture make it a poor choice for production or long-term projects.

Use it for:

- Quick repository initialization and setup in local development workflows where you want to avoid typing full git commands
- Automating repetitive commit-and-tag sequences in scripts that need abbreviated syntax
- Educational projects or personal scripts where you want a simplified git interface for learning or prototyping

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides command-line shortcuts for common git operations like init, add-commit, and push-as-tag through a simplified `gp` command interface.

No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2020-01-08), has unclear licensing, distributes via outdated .egg format, and offers only marginal convenience over native git commands. For any production or maintained codebase, use git directly or a modern, actively maintained wrapper instead.

## Install

pip install git-python
uv add git-python
poetry add git-python

## Installing git-python

Before you install: High install friction due to egg-based distribution. Package is abandoned as of 2020-01-08 with no maintenance activity since then, making it unsuitable for new projects.

License in practice: License status is unclear—no SPDX identifier or raw license text is declared. This creates legal ambiguity about permitted use and redistribution.

Quickstart:

pip install git-python==1.1.1

After installation, use the `gp` command:
  gp init
  gp addc -m "commit message"
  gp pushc addt -t "tag-name"

Package is distributed as a .egg file, which requires setuptools and may have compatibility issues with modern Python environments. Python version support is unspecified.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the `gp` command is properly registered in PATH after installation via egg distribution
- Compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.8 (support unspecified in metadata)
- Whether this package has any undeclared dependencies on system git or other tools
