The result of a lot of thought, this is the long-awaited git synchronisation functionality. What’s been added are three new commands, pull, push, and remote. These commands have no behaviour of their own, and are effectively aliases that execute their git counterparts inside the address book’s directory.

I think that this functionality is a good compromise: synchronising address book data can be accomplished using simple, familiar commands such as ppl pull origin master, and ppl itself is not unduly burdened with duplicating any git functionality.

Another positive outcome of this work is that it brings proper git-style “bang” aliases closer to being a reality. The code changes required for these three commands lay a lot of the foundations necessary for bang aliases.

• Added ppl pull command
• Added ppl push command
• Added ppl remote command
