Installation & Setup

1. Clone the project

Clone or download the repository to your local machine.

2. Create a .bat file for command shortcuts

Create a file named wit.bat with the following content (adjust the path):

@echo off
python C:\Users\user1\Desktop\pythonProject\wit.py %*

Make sure the path to your actual wit.py file is correct.

3. Add Python and the .bat file to system PATH

In your Windows environment variables (System Properties > Environment Variables), add the following paths to the PATH variable:

• C:\Users\user1\Desktop\pythonProject\.venv\Scripts
• The folder where your wit.bat file is saved.

This allows you to run wit from any command prompt window.

Usage

Use the following commands from your terminal:

wit init               # Create a .wit folder for version control
wit add <file>         # Add a file to staging
wit add .              # Add all files in the current folder
wit commit -m "msg"    # Create a commit with message
wit log                # View commit history
wit status             # Check repository status
wit checkout <hash>    # Restore files from a specific commit
wit push               # Send the latest commit to the server for analysis and graph generation
wit analyze            # Temporary analysis only (without commit)

Notes

• The .wit older is created on the first run of wit init.
• Commits are stored in .wit/committed.
• Files waiting to be committed are in .wit/staging.
• All commit metadata is saved locally in the data.csv file inside .wit.
• Graphs and analysis results are saved in the results folder
