OK, it's there by default anyway.

I'm not trying to be awkward, but just trying to get it going!

I looked for gitup, and it's moved to py37-git-up (unless something
replaced it, but nothing in devel/).

I installed it (and git), and there is zero documentation. I also can't
see any working configuration file.

I tried as you suggest:

- --------------------------------------------------------
root at test:/ # git-up ports
Usage: git-up [OPTIONS]
Try "git-up --help" for help.

Error: Got unexpected extra argument (ports)
root at test:/ # exit
exit
- --------------------------------------------------------

Am I looking at the wrong thing?
