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 (incl. hooks: *commit-msg*/*post-commit*)
* (un)stage files/hunks, revert/reset files/hunk
* scalable ui layout
* async [input polling](assets/perf_compare.jpg) and
* async git API for fluid control
# known limitations
* hooks don't work on windows (see [#14](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/14))
* [core.hooksPath](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks) config not supported
* revert/reset hunk in working dir (see [#11](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/11))
# 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.
## release binaries
see [releases](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/releases)
## homebrew (macos)
```
brew install extrawurst/tap/gitui
```
## install from source
### 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:
```
GITUI_LOGGING=true gitui
```
this will log to:
* `$HOME/Library/Caches/gitui/gitui.log` (mac)
* `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/gitui/gitui.log` (linux using `XDG`)
* `$HOME/.cache/gitui/gitui.log` (linux)
# inspiration
* https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit
* https://github.com/jonas/tig
* https://github.com/git-up/GitUp (would be nice to comeup with a way to have the map view available in a terminal tool)
