## 2. <a name="motivation"></a> Motivation <small><sup>[Top ▲](#table-of-contents)</sup></small>
|
|
|
|
I do most of my git work in a terminal but I frequently found myself using git GUIs for some use-cases like: index, commit, diff, stash, blame and log.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately popular git GUIs all fail on giant repositories or become unresponsive and unusable.
|
|
|
|
GitUI provides you with the user experience and comfort of a git GUI but right in your terminal while being portable, fast, free and opensource.
|
|

For a [RustBerlin meetup presentation](https://youtu.be/rpilJV-eIVw?t=5334) ([slides](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui-presentation)) I compared `lazygit`,`tig` and `gitui` by parsing the entire Linux git repository (which contains over 900k commits):
|
|
|
|
| | Time | Memory (GB) | Binary (MB) | Freezes | Crashes |
|
|
| --------- | ---------- | ----------- | ----------- | --------- | --------- |
|
|
| `gitui` | **24 s** ✅ | **0.17** ✅ | 1.4 | **No** ✅ | **No** ✅ |
|
|
| `lazygit` | 57 s | 2.6 | 16 | Yes | Sometimes |
|
|
| `tig` | 4 m 20 s | 1.3 | **0.6** ✅ | Sometimes | **No** ✅ |
|
|
|
|
## 4. <a name="roadmap"></a> Road(map) to 1.0 <small><sup>[Top ▲](#table-of-contents)</sup></small>
|
|
|
|
These are the high level goals before calling out `1.0`:
|
|
|
|
* log search (commit, author, sha) ([#449](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/449),[#429](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/429))
|
|
* file history log ([#381](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/381))
|
|
* visualize branching structure in log tab ([#81](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/81))
|
|
* notify-based change detection ([#1](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/1))
|
|
* interactive rebase ([#32](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/32))
|
|
* popup history and back button ([#846](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/846))
|
|
|
|
## 5. <a name="limitations"></a> Known Limitations <small><sup>[Top ▲](#table-of-contents)</sup></small>
|
|
|
|
- no support for GPG signing (see [#97](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/97))
|
|
|
|
Currently, this tool does not fully substitute the _git shell_, however both tools work well in tandem.
|
|
|
|
The priorities for `gitui` are on features that are making me mad when done on the _git shell_, like stashing, staging lines or hunks. Eventually, I will be able to work on making `gitui` a one stop solution - but for that I need help - this is just a spare time project for now.
|
|
|
|
All support is welcomed! Sponsors as well! ❤️

|
## 7. <a name="build"></a> Build <small><sup>[Top ▲](#table-of-contents)</sup></small>
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Minumum supported `rust`/`cargo` version: `1.50`
|
|
- See [Install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
|
|
|
|
### Cargo Install
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to start playing around with `gitui` is to have `cargo` build and install it with `cargo install gitui`. If you are not familiar with rust and cargo: [Getting Started with Rust](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch01-00-getting-started.html)
|
|
### Cargo Features
|
|
#### trace-libgit
|
|
enable `libgit2` tracing
|
|
|
|
works if `libgit2` builded with `-DENABLE_TRACE=ON`
|
|
|
|
this feature enabled by default, to disable: `cargo install --no-default-features`
|
|
|
|
## 8. <a name="diagnostics"></a> Diagnostics <small><sup>[Top ▲](#table-of-contents)</sup></small>
|
|
|
|
To run with logging enabled run `gitui -l`.
|
|
|
|
This will log to:
|
|
|
|
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Caches/gitui/gitui.log`
|
|
- Linux using `XDG`: `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/gitui/gitui.log`
|
|
- Linux: `$HOME/.cache/gitui/gitui.log`
|
|
- Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%/gitui/gitui.log`
|
|
|
|
## 9. <a name="theme"></a> Color Theme <small><sup>[Top ▲](#table-of-contents)</sup></small>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`gitui` should automatically work on both light and dark terminal themes.
|
|
|
|
However, you can customize everything to your liking: See [Themes](THEMES.md).
|
|
|
|
## 10. <a name="bindings"></a> Key Bindings <small><sup>[Top ▲](#table-of-contents)</sup></small>
|
|
|
|
The key bindings can be customized: See [Key Config](KEY_CONFIG.md) on how to set them to `vim`-like bindings.
