A small and simplified set of commands for vibe coders to leverage version control without getting overwhelmed by the learning curve of git.
Help a new vibe coder out and tell them about us. Or try it for yourself on NPM. =)
Initially, I thought this would be funny, but then I saw all the posts on X and reddit about massive progress lost by a prompt gone awry. I thought about it some more and finally decided to build something.
I've used git myself for well over a decade, and I still remember watching YouTube videos and doing a codeschool course, trying to wrap my head around it in the beginning. If you're working solo on something, that's a big hurdle, especially when the other barriers to entry have gotten so low!
Then there's the fact of how many of us have aliases set up for git anyway. `gca` and `gcmsg "<message>"` save a lot of keystrokes. While I made this for newbs, I find myself actually using `vibe save "<message>"` unironically already.
oh wow. i should have guessed taking it off the pricing page meant the price went up, not down.
this works in private channels, but not in DMs. i think that's okay given the likelihood of things getting to much for manual parsing in a 1:1 context.
if you've got the time/inclination, I'm interested to hear more about what you're getting at with the permissions & access piece
I've also tried to see what was the catch but seems like they just want to make it for free, maybe to help people with disabilities. Or maybe the add payment features in the future
There's a saying along the lines of, the purpose of a tool is determined by how its users use it. For instance, security dialogs are often useless because users blindly click through. Is this a human problem? Yes, absolutely. Does that mean we can blame users for not using the dialog properly? No, it doesn't. We're trying other approaches now that encourage better behaviors from users.
All that is to say, a human problem is fundamentally a tool problem.
