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.
- Fuzzy search (type
/
to start a search after runninggitin <command>
) - Various filters for commit history (e.g.
gitin log --author="..."
) - See ahead/behind commits (e.g.
gitin log --ahead
) - Interactive stage and see the diff of files (
gitin status
then pressenter
to see diff orspace
to stage) - Commit/amend changes (
gitin status
then pressc
to commit orm
to amend) - Interactive hunk staging (
gitin status
then pressp
) - Explore branches with useful filter options (e.g.
gitin branch
pressenter
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
)
- Linux and macOS are supported, haven't tried on Windows.
