I built gitNull: A minimalist GitFlow CLI tool to save time and stay focused

Hello Dev.to community! 👋

As a developer, I often found myself repeating the same Git commands over and over again during my workflow...

So I built a small CLI tool called gitNull to make that easier!

💡 What is `gitNull`?

A lightweight GitFlow helper written in Node.js.

It automates common git actions like:

gitNull start-feature <name>
gitNull finish-feature <name>
gitNull push – adds, commits and pushes in one command

With a retro CLI look and some colorful feedback thanks to chalk and figlet.

🔧 Why I built it

I love clean workflows, and I always wished Git had something a bit more guided.

I didn’t want a full GUI — just a faster terminal flow.

This is my first attempt at building a CLI tool, and I'm sharing it to get feedback and ideas from the community.
