# Clone the repository

Using as Git Alias

Once installed, you can use it directly as git pick (yes, Git automatically recognizes git-* binaries!):

git pick

Or, if you prefer a custom alias, add this to your ~/.gitconfig:

[alias]
    pick = !git-pick

Usage

Simply run in any git repository:

git-pick
# or
git pick

Then use:

• ↑/↓ or j/k to navigate
• Space to select/deselect files
• Enter to add selected files to staging
• q or Esc to quit
