Notes:

• Gitql doesn't want to kill git log - it was created just for science! 😅
• It's read-only - no deleting, inserting, or updating tables or commits. 😝
• The default limit is 10 rows.
• It's inspired by textql.
• Gitql is a compiler/interpreter instead of just read a sqlite database with all commits, tags, etc. because we would need to sync the tables every time before run sql and we would have sqlite bases for each repository. 😐
