About:
GitNow is a command-line utility that enables developers to make quick, temporary commits without cluttering the project history. It allows users to stash changes locally and later decide whether to merge them into the main branch or discard them entirely. This tool is ideal for maintaining a clean Git log while providing a safety net for experimental code changes.

Key Features:

Creates temporary commits that are easy to merge or discard
Simple command-line interface for quick operations
Helps maintain a clean and readable project history
Lightweight and easy to install via Homebrew

Use Cases:

Stashing experimental features without creating permanent history entries
Temporarily saving work-in-progress changes while switching contexts
Maintaining a clean Git history in collaborative projects

Alternatives:

git stash – GitNow provides a more intuitive workflow for temporary commits compared to the native git stash command
git-wip – GitNow offers similar functionality but with a focus on temporary commits rather than work-in-progress snapshots
