There's so many of these things now! Good!
This one appears to be a more active fork of Tobi's, <a href="https://github.com/tobi/walgit" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tobi/walgit <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49420598">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49420598

  I'm confused why there's no attribution or reference to Tobi's (which in turn referenced the cursor git post)
  Attribution is not just a problem for LLMs in mathematics!
  Tobi is where I first heard the concept: <a href="https://github.com/tobi/walgit" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tobi/walgit
  And he credits this Cursor post for giving him the ideas and says it's worth reading: <a href="https://cursor.com/blog/git-at-any-scale" rel="nofollow">https://cursor.com/blog/git-at-any-scale
  Note: in related work, the East River Source Control team has posted about their vision for git as well: <a href="https://ersc.io/blog/what-comes-after-git" rel="nofollow">https://ersc.io/blog/what-comes-after-git

    I agree and nearly commented about that; it is very concerning & ought be at least in the README.
    I was charitably thinking perhaps maybe possibly being a fork doesn't give you access to the full suite of GitHub tools: iirc issues aren't at least by default available? Maybe there's a setting for that.
    It felt like a little too big a topic to tackle in my post, so I ommited, but I definitely have concerns! Very weird.
