blazing fast terminal-ui for git written in rust
![img](assets/demo.gif)
## 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](assets/perf_compare.jpg) 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](https://git-fork.com) because it was not bloated, snappy and free. Unfortunately the *free* part will [change soon](https://github.com/ForkIssues/TrackerWin/issues/571) 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)
