  "github_readme_excerpt": "### git-number ###\n\n`git-number` is a program that increases my command-line git productivity.\nThe original version was written in Perl. The Perl implementation has\nbeen preserved in the `perl` branch and will no longer be updated.\nThe current version is written in Go.\n## Usage Examples ##\n\nHere\u0027s how it increases my productivity (and might increase yours, too):\n\nInitial setup\n```console\n# set up `git id` and `git list` as shortcuts for `git number id` and `git number list`\ngit number --set-git-alias\n\n# set shell aliases\nalias g=\u0027git number --column\u0027\nalias ga=\u0027git number add\u0027\nalias gd=\u0027git number diff\u0027\nalias ge=\u0027git number -c\u0027\n# See item 4 in the Caveat section on --column\n```\n\nUse it\n```\n$ g\n# On branch master\n\n# Untracked files:\n#   (use \"git add \u003cfile\u003e...\" to include in what will be committed)\n#\n#1      .README.swp\n#2      README\n$\n```\n\nDoes the output look familiar? Notice the numbers before the filenames? Those\nare their ids.\n\nIf you prefer the short status format then you can use the `-s` option. This\nwill run `git status` with the `--short` option.\n\n```console\n$ git number -s\n1 ?? .README.swp\n2 ?? README\n```\n\nNow look at this:\n\n```console\n$ ga 2\ngit add README  # \u003c- It does this in the background\n\n$ g\n# On branch master\n# Changes to be committed:\n#   (use \"git reset HEAD \u003cfile\u003e...\" to unstage)\n#\n#1      new file:   README\n#\n# Untracked files:\n#   (use \"git add \u003cfile\u003e...\" to include in what will be committed)\n#\n#2      .README.swp\n```\n\nWhen run without arguments, `git number` runs `git status` and attach a unique\nnumber for each line of filename printed by `git status`, and it will \u0027remember\u0027\nthis number-to-filename association. When run with arguments, like this:\n\n```console\n$ git number \u003cany git command\u003e [one or more numbers or git options/args]\n```\n\n`git number` will run that \u0026lt;any git command\u0026gt; and subtitute all the numbers\nto their equivalent filenames. Non-numeric argument are passed intact to git.\n\nIt accepts multiple args and ranges too:\n\n```consol",
