# Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
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** ✅ |
|
|

# 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 snappy, free, and not bloated. Unfortunately the _free_ part will [change soon](https://github.com/ForkIssues/TrackerWin/issues/571) and so I decided to build a fast and simple terminal tool myself to help do features I use the most.
|
|
|
|
# Known Limitations
|
|
|
|
- no support for push and pull yet (see [#90](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/90))
|
|
- limited support for branch (see [#90](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/91))
|
|
- no support for [bare repositories](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Getting-Git-on-a-Server) (see [#100](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/100))
|
|
- no support for [core.hooksPath](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks) config
|
|
|
|
Currently, this tool does not fully substitute the _git shell_, however both tools work well in tandem.
|
|
|
|
`gitui` currently lacks essential features in git like push, pull, and checkout. The priorities are the basics (add, commit), and on features that are making me mad when done on the _git shell_, like stashes and hunks. Eventually, I will be able to work on features that could lead to making `gitui` a one stop solution to get rid of the shell entirely - but for that I need help - this is just a spare time project right now.

# Installation
|
|
|
|
For the time being this product is in alpha and is not considered production ready. However, for personal use it is reasonably stable and is being used while developing itself.
|
|
|
|
### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
There is an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gitui/) for `gitui`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gitui.git
|
|
cd gitui
|
|
makepkg -si
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Fedora
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo dnf install gitui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Homebrew (macOS)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
brew install gitui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Release Binaries
|
|
|
|
[Available for download in releases](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/releases)
|
|
|
|
Binaries available for:
|
|
|
|
- Linux
|
|
- macOS
|
|
- Windows
|
|
|
|
# Build
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Latest `rust` and `cargo`
|
|
- 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`
|
|
|
|
# Diagnostics
|
|
|
|
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`
|
|
|
|
# Color Theme
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`gitui` should automatically work on both light and dark terminal themes.
|
|
|
|
However, you can customize everything to your liking: See [Themes](THEMES.md).

# Inspiration
|
|
|
|
- [lazygit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit)
|
|
- [tig](https://github.com/jonas/tig)
|
|
- [GitUp](https://github.com/git-up/GitUp)
|
|
- It would be nice to come up with a way to have the map view available in a terminal tool
