Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

banner


📦 What is plain-git?

plain-git is a modern, interactive Git CLI that lets developers perform Git operations using plain English, guided prompts, clean menus, and a manager-driven architecture.

Think of it as:

Git for humans.
A command palette inside your terminal.
Zero memorization + maximum productivity.


✨ Features

🖥 Beautiful interactive CLI

  • ASCII banner
  • Color-coded logs
  • Scrollable menus
  • Current branch indicator
  • Clear grouped categories

🧠 Full Manager-Based Architecture

Every domain of Git is isolated into a clean “Manager”:

| Manager | Responsibilities | |--------|------------------| | RepositoryManager | init, clone, status, config, remotes, fsck, GC | | BranchManager | create, rename, switch, delete, push upstream | | CommitManager | stage, unstage, commit, amend, logs, diffs | | RemoteManager | remotes, push, pull, fetch, sync | | StashManager | stash create/apply/pop/drop/clear | | TagManager | tags (LS, create, annotate, delete, push) | | MergeManager | merge, conflicts, abort/continue | | ConflictManager | conflict markers, editor open, diff | | RebaseManager | rebase, interactive, skip/continue/abort | | HistoryManager | history, reflog, diff, blame | | ResetManager | soft/mixed/hard reset, discard changes |

Everything runs interactively — no need to remember Git syntax.


🧪 Full Test Suite (Vitest)

plain-git ships with complete tests for:

  • RepositoryManager
  • BranchManager
  • CommitManager
  • RemoteManager
  • StashManager

With:

  • Zero real Git side effects
