commit/branch/workdir explorer for git

Overview

gitin

gitin is a commit/branch/status explorer for git

gitin is a minimalist tool that lets you explore a git repository from the command line. You can search from commits, inspect individual files and changes in the commits. It is an alternative and interactive way to explore the commit history. Also, you can explore your current state by investigating diffs, stage your changes and commit them.

screencast

Features

  • Fuzzy search (type / to start a search after running gitin <command>)
  • Interactive stage and see the diff of files (gitin status then press enter to see diff or space to stage)
  • Commit/amend changes (gitin status then press c to commit or m to amend)
  • Interactive hunk staging (gitin status then press p)
  • Explore branches with useful filter options (e.g. gitin branch press enter to checkout)
  • Convenient UX and minimalist design
  • See more options by running gitin --help, also you can get help for individual subcommands (e.g. gitin log --help)

Installation

  • Linux and macOS are supported, Windows is not at the moment.
  • Download latest release from here
  • Or, manually download it with go get -d github.com/isacikgoz/gitin/cmd/gitin
  • cd into $GOPATH/src/github.com/isacikgoz/gitin
  • build with make install (cmake and pkg-config are required, also note that git2go will be cloned and built)

Mac/Linux using brew

The tap is recently moved to new repo, so if you added the older one (isacikgoz/gitin), consider removing it and adding the new one.

brew tap isacikgoz/taps
brew install gitin

  • Add support searching by commit id

    Add support searching by commit id

    It'd be really nice if I could just type in part of the commit hash (instead of commit message) and gitin log be able to find it. This is a simple task I perform daily and gitin does not seem to support it yet.

    Do you plan to add this kind of feature?

    Thanks and good job!

  • gitin_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz release isn't a self-contained static binary, has runtime dependency on libssl.so.1.1

    gitin_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz release isn't a self-contained static binary, has runtime dependency on libssl.so.1.1

    the linux release gitin_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz is not self-contained, has runtime dependencies on dynamic libraries (e.g. libssl.so.1.1 )

    steps to reproduce

    1. obtain a standard test environment without dev dependencies, e.g. a debian jessie slim container

    2. download binary release https://github.com/isacikgoz/gitin/releases/download/v0.1.0/gitin_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz

    3. untar the gitin

    4. add the gitin to the PATH

    5. run gitin --version

    expected behaviour

    gitin exits successfully after displaying version number

    observed behaviour

    gitin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    

    dockerfile to reproduce

    docker build -t gitin_static:dev -f test.Dockerfile .

    where test.Dockerfile contains

    FROM debian:jessie-20190122-slim
    
    RUN apt update
    RUN apt install -y wget
    
    WORKDIR /tmp
    RUN wget --quiet https://github.com/isacikgoz/gitin/releases/download/v0.1.0/gitin_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
    RUN tar -xvzf gitin_0.1.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
    RUN mkdir -p /tmp/bin
    RUN mv gitin /tmp/bin/gitin
    ENV PATH="$PATH":/tmp/bin/
    
    RUN gitin --version
    

    proposed cause

    git2go links to libgit2, which in turn links to various dependencies for ssh support, http support, etc. it seems like these latter dependencies tend to be linked dynamically, even if you use the scripts and documentation provided by git2go to do a "static" build of git2go.

    suggested fix

    if the gitin application does not actually require ssh or http support, you can customise build flags of libgit2 when compiling git2go to disable linking to these unnecessary dependencies.

    libgit2 build flags that can be customised are here: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L58

    i suggest disabling USE_SSH, USE_HTTPS, and USE_EXT_HTTP_PARSER (these are all educated guesses based on the option name)

    one way to do this is by modifying: https://github.com/libgit2/git2go/blob/master/script/build-libgit2-static.sh

    pass these additional flags to cmake: -DUSE_SSH=OFF -DUSE_HTTPS=OFF -DUSE_EXT_HTTP_PARSER=OFF after the -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF flag.

    then, to build git2go run this modified script/build-libgit2-static.sh .

    the gitin application should still link against this new static git2go library if built using --tags static (as it looks like it is currently built)

    (this fix may not be 100% accurate, it's from memory -- i spent a few hours earlier today trying to figure how to do self-contained static builds for my own application that depends on git2go)

  • Dies pretty quickly in some project directories

    Dies pretty quickly in some project directories

    I'm on a Macbook Pro, Mojave, 10.14.2 (18C54).

    In some git projects, running gitin log, or even git -h, results in an error

    could not find repository from '/Users/myusername/Projects/myproject'

    Any other git tool (like tig) works fine. It's not all projects, just some, which is odd.

    I've narrowed it down to line 61, in gopkg.in/libgit2/git2go.v27/repository.go, which is this call into C code

    ret := C.git_repository_open(&ptr, cpath)
    

    This happened with both the release download, and with a version I built following the build instructions.

    If I can provide any more info, please let me know.

    [Feature Request] - Flag to list branches by date

    From the looks of it, it appears that the branches are organized alphabetically. It would be great to add a flag to sort them with latest at the top of the list.

    Also since it shows remote branches as well, having another flag to show only local branches would be nice.

    Great tool!

    Show Author and Tags in `gitin log`

    Hi, I really like gitin and I consider it as a replacement for tig. However, tig shows also the commit author and the tags in the commit overview. Especially the tags are very important to quickly see which commits made it into a release.

    Keep on rocking with gitin!

    interactive hunk staging

    The one feature that still makes tig essential for me is interactive hunk staging, i.e. staging hunks from the diff view.

    In tig, one can even stage (or un-stage) single lines.

  • [Feature Request] Keep search results when back to commit list

    [Feature Request] Keep search results when back to commit list

    It would be cool if it's possible to keep search results when back to commits list. For ex:

    gitin log -> type "/" -> type "add" -> arrow up/down -> enter 1 commit -> type "q" back to commits list

    In this case, it shows the original commits list without applying search "add".

    It would be cool to have the possibility to go back to the list with applying search "add". Maybe a hotkey "backspace" to go back to the filtered list?
