About:
Git-number is a command-line utility that assigns sequential numbers to files in a Git repository based on their status (untracked, modified, etc.). This allows users to quickly reference and manipulate specific files using simple numbers instead of long filenames. It streamlines workflows by integrating with standard Git commands to perform batch operations efficiently.

Key Features:

Assigns numbers to untracked, modified, and other Git status files
Integrates with standard Git commands via aliases or wrappers
Supports batch operations on selected file numbers
Works with standard Unix/Linux shells

Use Cases:

Quickly staging or committing specific files from a large list of changes
Selectively adding or ignoring files during a Git add operation
Performing bulk operations on files with similar names or paths

Alternatives:

git-add – Standard Git command requiring full filenames; git-number simplifies selection with numeric shortcuts
fzf – Fuzzy finder that offers interactive selection; git-number provides a non-interactive, scriptable numeric interface
