  git-cl is a command-line tool that brings changelist support to Git.
  It introduces a pre-staging layer that allows developers to partition
  modified files into named groups before staging or committing.
  Changelists persist across sessions, support selective stashing, and
  can be promoted to dedicated branches. The tool stores its state in
  a local JSON file within the .git directory, requires no external
  dependencies beyond Python and Git, and integrates transparently
  with existing Git workflows.
