Philosophy & Motivation
Froggit was born out of a simple frustration: Git is powerful, but the command line can feel intimidating especially for people working in teams or those new to development.
Even though Git follows a relatively simple flow modify, stage, commit, push the process can feel overly complicated. It’s easy to forget commands, make mistakes, or feel overwhelmed by the friction of version control.
Why Froggit Exists
Section titled “Why Froggit Exists”I created Froggit because I wanted something that captured the simplicity of Git core ideas, but made it easier to work with. No stress, no memorization, no fear of breaking something just a fast and intuitive way to manage your work.
Froggit is designed for your day-to-day Git tasks. It’s not about showing every possible option Git offers it’s about doing the basics really, really well.
Guiding Principles
Section titled “Guiding Principles”- Keep it simple: Froggit should always feel easy to use.
- Focus on the loop: Stage → Commit → Push. That’s the heart of Git — Froggit embraces it.
- Be modern: The terminal doesn’t have to be outdated. Froggit brings modern UX to the command line.
- Minimize friction: Actions like staging with the spacebar are designed to be fast and intuitive.
- Be welcoming: Froggit is ideal for both newcomers and experienced users who want to move fast.
More advanced tools and features are coming but the core goal will always be the same: make Git feel effortless.
Froggit is not trying to replace Git it’s helping you love using it.
