## NAME

`git-repl` - git read-eval-print-loop

## SYNOPSIS

`git-repl`

`git-repl` [command...]

## DESCRIPTION

Git read-eval-print-loop. Lets you run `git` commands without typing 'git'.

Commands can be prefixed with an exclamation mark (!) to be interpreted as a regular shell command.

Any arguments to git repl will be taken collectively as the first command to execute in the repl.

Type `exit`, `quit`, or `q` to end the repl session. Ctrl-D and Ctrl-C will also work.

## COMMANDS

<command>

Interpreted as `git <command>`.

!<command>

Interpreted as `<command>` (not through `git`).

ls

Equivalent of 'git ls-files'.

exit|quit|q

Ends the repl session.

## EXAMPLES

    $ git repl
    git version 2.34.1
    git-extras version 7.3.0
    Type 'ls' to ls files below current directory; '!command' to execute any command or just 'subcommand' to execute any git subcommand; 'quit', 'exit', 'q', ^D, or ^C to exit the git repl.

    git (master)> ls-files
    History.md
    Makefile
    Readme.md
    bin/git-changelog
    bin/git-count
    bin/git-delete-branch
    bin/git-delete-tag
    bin/git-ignore
    bin/git-release

    git (master)> !echo Straight from the shell!
    Straight from the shell!

    git (master)> quit
