An implementation of Justin Hileman's chart from "Changing History, or How to Git Pretty"
npm install git-prettyAn implementation of Justin Hileman's handy chart for finding the suitable git operation.
… with some additions!
Just run
``bash`
npx git-pretty
This opens an interactive session like this:
`bash
So you have a mess on your hands. What sort of mess?
1: An uncommitted mess
2: I accidentally committed something
3: My Git history is ugly
4: I have a bunch of old branches I want gone
5: I want to sync my fork with the original repo

If you need this kind of help often, you could install git-pretty globally:
`
npm i -g git-pretty
Then you can drop npx and run
`
git-pretty
Using npx is recommended though, because it always uses the latest version.
> Wasn't this a Python package, installable through pip?
Yes it was! But now it's a Node package, installable through npm`. Ah, how things change through life.
