In plain words

git-num is a Git utility that lets developers reference files using numbers instead of typing full filenames. This speeds up staging, unstaging, and other Git operations by allowing users to identify files by their position in a list rather than remembering exact paths. It's designed for command-line Git users who work with multiple files and want faster workflows.
