gitui
blazing fast terminal-ui for git written in rust
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
build from source
the simplest way to start playing around with gitui is to have cargo install it locally:
cargo install --path "."
after that you can go to your git repo and run it:
gitui
todo
- (un)stage files
- inspect diffs
- commit
- input polling in thread
- only ask git when necessary. maybe in a worker thread?
- show content of new files
- discard untracked files (remove)
- use notify to watch git
- log view
- stashing support
- (un)staging selected hunks
