Description-en: Git command line interface to GitHub
git hub is a simple command line interface to GitHub, enabling most useful
GitHub tasks (like creating and listing pull request or issues) to be accessed
directly through the Git command line.
.
Although probably the most outstanding feature (and the one that motivated the
creation of this tool) is the pull rebase command, which is the rebasing
version of the GitHub Merge (TM) button. This enables an easy workflow that
doesn't involve thousands of merges which makes the repository history
unreadable.
.
Another unique feature is the ability to transform an issue into a pull
request by attaching commits to it (this is something offered by the GitHub
API but not by the web interface).
