Git Town – A high-level command line interface for Git
I am new to programming (less than 1 year) and the insignificance of this project is obvious to me. This looks very well done, but my understanding is that a user friendly wrapper for such a ubiquitous programming tech with already widespread GUIs and pluins is comparable to reinventing a wheel. It's a little frustrating how many projects like this appear to get so much attention and end up on HN, because it makes for a disorienting maze of distractions for newer programmers. I love all the productivity, excitement, possibility but it's still peculiar and debatably problematic.My best guess is this was a personal project that solved some person(s) problems, and for some reason related to networking or self-promotion, it got the decoration of a full release treatment. What else could cause this?I know there are zillions of these every day but this seems like one we all can see through. Can anyone share some insight here?Should I be contributing to the heap of projects like these to further my own career?
