+# gitredux
+###This project is nascent and in a state of flux!
+
+I started this project because `git log --no-pager` gives an error. Apparently I wanted `git --no-pager log`. This was the last straw.
+*So I decided to "fix" the git CLI.*
+
+This project takes inspiration from [gitless](http://gitless.com/) and [legit](https://github.com/kennethreitz/legit), and is 
+influenced by this [blog post](http://www.saintsjd.com/2012/01/a-better-ui-for-git/) and this [fantastic diatribe](http://stevebennett.me/2012/02/24/10-things-i-hate-about-git).
+However, I feel all of these tools are either underdeveloped or too opinionated. I want a tool that gives me all the
+same control as git but without the headache of its impossible to remember commands.
+
+### Goals
+* CONSISTANCY
+* Fewer, more orthogonal commands
+* More useful built-in behaviors
+
+### Commands
+(bound to get out of date quickly)
