I built a CLI tool to stop typing the same 5 git commands every time I start a project

Hey everyone👋, english isn't my first language so sorry if anything sounds off.

I'm a self-taught student and i kept running into the same annoying thing, every time i started or updated a project i was chaining the same git commands over and over. so i built GitGo to wrap all of that into something shorter.

instead of:

git init && git add . && git commit -m "init" && git remote add origin <url> && git push -u origin main

you just do:

gitgo link <url> "init"

it also handles SSH auto-setup, auto-converts HTTPS remotes to SSH, and works on Termux (android) which honestly took me longer to figure out than i'd like to admit.

I'm not sure everything is built the right way since i mostly figured this out on my own with some help of my classmate, so any feedback, criticism, or advice is genuinely appreciated. Open source too if anyone's interested in contributing.

Repo: GitGo

Would love to hear any thoughts, feedback, or suggestions 🙏
