Or even better, have "gh init".
Why gh?  Is Git just Mercurial backwards?  :)

I'm all in favor of this discussion, and in particular of just
breaking the entire UI in 2.0 by using a new frontend command.
I'm just not sure that "Mercurial backwards" describes Git well.
I do not have any obsession to any name as long as it is
different from "git" to avoid confusion coming from older
documents that would be found by googling.  gh was just
shorthand for "git for humans" (and easy to type with index
fingers).  I think I listed a few other possibilities in my
previous message.
Keyboard shortcuts
hback out one level
jnext message in thread
kprevious message in thread
ldrill in
