Watching for changes [Top ▲](#table-of-contents) + +By default, `gitui` polls for changes in the working directory every 5 seconds. If you supply `--watcher` as an argument, it uses a `notify`-based approach instead. This is usually faster and was for some time the default update strategy. It turned out, however, that `notify`-based updates can cause issues on some platforms, so tick-based updates seemed like a safer default. + +See #1444 for details. diff --git a/src/args.rs b/src/args.rs index 9689164a..7dd3853c 100644 --- a/src/args.rs +++ b/src/args.rs @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ use std::{ pub struct CliArgs { pub theme: PathBuf, pub repo_path: RepoPath, - pub poll_watcher: bool, + pub notify_watcher: bool, } pub fn process_cmdline() -> Result { @@ -54,13 +54,13 @@ pub fn process_cmdline() -> Result { get_app_config_path()?.join("theme.ron") }; - let arg_poll: bool = - *arg_matches.get_one("poll").unwrap_or(&false); + let notify_watcher: bool = + *arg_matches.get_one("watcher").unwrap_or(&false); Ok(CliArgs { theme, - poll_watcher: arg_poll, repo_path, + notify_watcher, }) } @@ -96,9 +96,9 @@ fn app() -> ClapApp { .num_args(0), ) .arg( - Arg::new("poll") - .help("Poll folder for changes instead of using file system events.
