jwu910 / check-it-out Goto Github PK

This is especially helpful when there are tons of branches and you don't want to have to scroll through the whole list to find the ones that you most commonly use

Possibly generate a local text file storing output of git for-each-ref
Need to access local git information w/o fetching
Need to brainstorm.

When a user attempts to use check-it-out while not connected to the internet, the utility command to build the branch lists will not work. A possible solution has not been found yet.

The app hangs in a blank state if the cwd is not a git repository.
Can simply check if the currentBranch() method returns a valid response or not.

Program should throw an error and print the correct error message for the user

git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree will return true if path is inside a git repo. otherwise it will go to stderr

If branch is not on local, but exists on origin, git checkout should be called without the remote param.

e.g.: git checkout test-branch instead of git checkout origin/test-branch

Known issue: if the use of the list-table covers the entire terminal window, wider terminal windows will create unwanted space between columns (Haven't figured out a solution to this yet)

• Status bar should stretch across the entire terminal window

Add jack-cli as a dependency and invoke jack on spacebar.

This would give user ability to quickly view a log as well as quickly check commits

Add left and right functionality to change remote. Add getUniqueRemotes method here.

App window sizes should be responsive to terminal window size.

Descriptions and readme should be more descriptive.

Change

{
width: '70%'
// to
width: 'shrink'
}

Branches that are grouped inside of a remote get mis-labeled as having their group be the remote
e.g

remote: origin
branch: hotfix/fix-print-out

since hotfix is a grouping, it would show up as origin/hotfix/fix-print-out; therefore all "hotfix" branches get marked as having hotfix for a remote

I'm guessing these lines (or close to it) are the culprits

Reconsider data structure to be more descriptive with branch names. If a user has multiple remotes with few branches, you can easily see three masters right next to each other.

If current branch is a detached HEAD, attempting to change to another detached HEAD will not work.

Need to fix typos in the readme and contributing guidelines.

Using await someAsyncFunction().then(//do something)

Should we be using try catch here and then continuing?

Blessed element creation is messy and hard to read.

Should include a hotkey to show/hide help page.

? should toggle the help window.

Branches should be grouped by remotes and sorted into tabs.

h/l, left/right should switch between tabs

l currently selects, and should be unset first.

Tabs should be listed above headers and highlight current remote.

If user has unstaged changes, app should prompt user to stash changes prior to checking out.

Code is messy and hard to read. Need to componentize code

This issue was generated by todo based on a @todo comment in 28797e4 when #74 was merged. cc @jwu910.

Node 7 is currently required due to the use of async await functions.

Looking to add Node 6 and compatibility and maybe older versions in the future as well.

If this project is required to build before deployment, we may have to move that route which would require some reorganization.

We should set up a github pages hosted site to give some more visual flair to the readme.

Path column could provide different data. Seems unnecessary to list ref path now...

Maybe list last commit?

Need find and implement a testing suite to test utility functions.

I have used Jest for web app projects, but not for CLI tools.

Introduced with refresh hotkey

https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed

It just makes sense...

When checking out a branch that exists on a remote, but not user's local, the following error occurs:

[LOG] fatal: Unable to create '/home/joshua/programming/check-it-out/.git/index.lock': File exists.

Suspecting that Git is trying to execute another command before the first command has completed. This would most likely be an incorrect use of Promises with the async and await keywords in the Git utilities.

Should hotkey help information always be shown?
Add current remote tracker/tabs

Program should handle attempt to check out currently checked out branch

OS: Arch Linux
Term: Gnome Terminal

Warning window briefly displays "Terminfo parse error"

Move objects into components:
Screen
Table
Questions
Status bar
etc.?

Program should prompt user about unstaged changes and provide options

Need to compartmentalize blessed screen and window objects.

Currently, code is confusing to read. Entry point should be very minimal, only instantiating the main screen.

Can probably skip the fetch on start up to help save startup time. Maybe revert the auto-fetch so it just fetches on "refresh".

Add a column that prints what the remote url resolves to.

Branch could indicate branches that are on a user's local repo, but NOT on any remote.

Currently does not work with windows.

Some research has explained that this needs to be a portable node app. Reasons the node app probably does not work is the difference in file system paths and how '/' does not resolve on windows systems.

Use path.resolve() as a start.
