blazing fast terminal-ui for git written in rust
features
- fast and intuitive key only control
- context based help (no need to remember any hot-key)
- inspect/commit changes
- (un)stage files, revert/reset files
- scalable ui layout
- async input polling and
- async git API for fluid control
motivation
I do most of my git usage in a terminal but I frequently found myself using git UIs for some use cases like: index/commit, diff, stash and log.
Over the last 2 years my go-to GUI tool for this was fork because it was not bloated, snappy and free. Unfortunately the free part will change soon and so I decided to build a fast & simple terminal tool myself to copy the fork features i am using the most.
installation
For the time being this product is considered alpha and not production ready, therefore I do not distribute binary versions yet, however feel free to build gitui
and let me know what you think!
requirements
install rust
/cargo
: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
cargo install
the simplest way to start playing around with gitui
is to have cargo
build/install it:
cargo install gitui
diagnostics:
to enable logging to ~/.gitui/gitui.log
:
GITUI_LOGGING=true gitui
todo for 0.1 (first release)
- better help command
- confirm destructive commands (revert/reset)
- (un)staging selected hunks
- publish as homebrew-tap
