Development Notes

• CLI Implementation: Located in pivvo/cli.py using Typer for argument parsing
• Terminal Output: Uses Rich for beautiful, colored terminal output
• Error Logging: Failed subprocess commands are logged to pivvo-error.log
• Git Integration: Uses GitPython for repository initialization
• Cross-Platform: Handles different Python executable paths for Windows/macOS/Linux

Tips for Windows Development

When using Git Bash on Windows, you might see raw ANSI escape codes. Solutions:

• Force ANSI rendering: Modify cli.py to use Console(force_terminal=True, color_system="auto")
• Use winpty: winpty python pivvo/main.py ...
• Use PowerShell, CMD, or Windows Terminal instead of Git Bash
