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 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)

• Linux and macOS are supported.
• 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)

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
