gg: Git with less typing

gg is an alternative command-line interface for Git heavily inspired by
Mercurial. It's designed for less typing in common workflows and make Git
easier to use for both novices and advanced users alike.

• Abbreviations. git commit -a takes 13 characters to type. gg ci
  takes 5 to do the same thing. Don't worry, you can still type gg commit:
  most common operations have shorter aliases.
• Built for GitHub and Gerrit. gg has built-in support for creating pull
  requests and creating Gerrit changesets straight from the
  command-line. No more context switching.
• Safer rebases. gg rebase automatically detects common mistakes while
  rebasing and infers the correct change.
• Local branches match remote branches. Using gg pull automatically
  creates branches that match your remotes to avoid confusion.
• Optional staging. gg avoids using the staging area to save on typing and
  mistakes. However, gg takes great care to avoid perturbing the staging area,
  so for more advanced commits, you can keep using the same Git commands you're
  used to.
• Works with existing Git tools. You can use or not use gg as much as you
  want in your workflow. gg is just a wrapper for the Git CLI, so it works with
  any hooks or custom patches to Git that your project may use. You can see the
  exact Git commands gg runs by passing in --show-git.
