Setup

• npm i -g g4c -- Global install

Goals

1. Make common git commands easy to use in JavaScript shells 🚀
   • This includes commands such as git clone, git pull, and git push.
2. Provide configuration options via config file, package.json and ENV variables ⚙️
   • This will make it easier for developers to customize the behavior of g4c to match their specific needs.
3. Minimize cold-boot time and overhead in browser environments ⏱️
   • This is important for web IDEs. By minimizing the cold-boot time, developers can maximize cycle time and review PR's more efficiently.
4. Improve the developer experience (DX) for JS devs as much as possible 👩‍💻
   • Following in the foot steps of vite and git to improve workflows.

Configuration Precedence

• First, the long form package.json -> repository field is read
• Then, package.json -> author field is read for email and name
• Then, package.json -> g4c
• Finally, SECRETS.g4c.json can veto all others
• Unless, yoy provided an argument in the command line

All of these are optional:

// SECRETS.g4c.json
