Swit

Swit is a basic open-source implementation of Git, meant for experimenting and studying Git's concepts and core design.

Installing Swit

Install Swit using pip:

pip install Swit

And you're basically ready to go.

How to Use Swit

Even though you probably know this from Git, here's a short description of what Swit has to offer:

• Swit init: Create a new Swit repository.
• Swit add: Tells Swit to include updates to a particular file or folder in the next commit.
• Swit commit: Creates a snapshot of the repository.
  • Add a commit message with --m or --message.
• Swit status: Display the repository and the staging area. Shows which changes have been staged, which haven't, and which files aren't being tracked by Swit.
• Swit checkout: Updates files in the repository to match the version of the specified image.
• Swit graph: Shows a graph of all parental hierarchy, starting from HEAD.
  • Show all commits and the relations between them, using --full.
  • Show the entire id of each entry, using --e or --entire. (Default: first 6 chars)
• Swit branch: Create another line of development in the project. Committing under a branch will give your commits a name that's easy to remember.
• Swit merge: Creates a new commit, that is an integration of two other commits.
  • Note: This is a very basic implementation of merge. Merge conflicts are handled by committing only the newest file version.

Where Did the Name Come From?

Swit stands for SomeWhere In Time. Pretty neat for a version control system.

Also, Swit is like Sweet, but with a typo.
