About:
PyGitUp is a Python-based command-line tool that enhances the standard `git pull` command with a more intuitive and safer workflow. It automatically handles stashing local changes, pulling updates, and reapplying stashes, while providing a clear summary of changes. Its main value is reducing merge conflicts and simplifying repository updates for developers.

Key Features:

Automatically stashes and reapplies local changes before pulling
Provides a clear, color-coded summary of incoming changes
Runs pull operations on multiple branches in a single command
Safer default behavior than a plain `git pull` to avoid conflicts
Configurable behavior via a `.gitupconfig` file

Use Cases:

Safely updating a feature branch with latest changes from the main branch
Quickly pulling updates for multiple repositories or branches in a batch
Reducing errors and merge conflicts for developers new to Git workflows

Alternatives:

git-up – A Ruby-based alternative with similar multi-repo pull functionality.
git pull --rebase – Standard Git command for a linear history, but doesn't auto-stash or provide summaries.
