RVC

(ReVision Control)

A very simplified interface for Git repositories that don't require a "proper" commit history.

It's for use cases, where you just want a version history and the ability to get an answer to the question "What did I even do last week?". It was designed to be used for writing, not coding.

By default, it won't even add meaningful commit messages.

Installation

Requirements: Ruby and Bundler https://bundler.io

1. Download the rvc script
2. put it somewhere in your $PATH
3. make it executable

Usage

rvc help

A typical workflow could be:

rvc init

# make some changes

rvc save --all # will commit all changes and untracked files

# make some more changes

rvc status # show a simplified version of `git status`

rvc save # only commits tracked files

rvc clean # deletes untracked files

# make even more changes

rvc revert # roll back to most recent commit

"Git things" it won't do

• branching
• remotes
• rebasing
• …

… and all that other stuff that Git can do.

But it's still a Git repository underneath, so use Git when you need to.
