git-gui console app ?

git-gui console app ?

[Erik Colson]

Hello !

git-gui is a nice application and I like to use it while developping.
However as probably a lot of developpers do, I regularly code in Emacs
from a distant ssh client.
Therefor I'd want to find some app like git-gui running in console...
Does this exist or is there a project in development ?

Thanks for info

There is tig.  http://repo.or.cz/w/tig.git

It is something similar to gitk but based on curses, so it is a viewer for 
now.  But I do not see any fundamental reason why it should not be 
possible to teach it many of the tricks git-gui does.

Just fork it (you can even do that on repo.or.cz; tig.git is mirrored 
there), and give it a go!

Ciao,

Thanks for the very fast answer. I'm currently trying it out. However
I can't figure out how to view the 'changed but not updated' in diff
format...
Any clue what I'm missing ?

git-diff ?

By default, it will show the changes between your working tree and the
index (i.e., changed but not updated). You can show the diff of "updated
but not commited" with "git-diff --cached".

Peff,

yep that is the info I would like to browse in a way git-gui does it...
showing a list of the files in the diff, and letting the user select a
file to show the part of the diff for that file.

Since you are an Emacs user, perhaps contrib/emacs/* would be
more to your taste?

Ah, I see. There is a status mode for tig (tig -S), but you can't jump
to the diff of a particular file. It shouldn't be that difficult to add
for somebody familiar with the tig codebase, but I am not such a
somebody.

Jonas, am I right that this should be a one-liner? If you can point me
in the right direction, I can try to take a closer look, but I'm having
trouble following the code.

If you are already using emacs, why not use the emacs frontend?  It
isn't as featureful as git gui right now, but it integrates better
with your emacs.

I'm actually using git-status in Emacs. But I'd like to access repo
diffs in a gui like tig. It's quite nice excepted that I can't figure
out how to show the result of git-diff --cached

Not quite a one-liner, but I've implemented something that will show
diffs of staged/unstaged changes as well as the content of untracked
files when pressing Enter on a file in the status view. To update the
status of a file (unstaged->staged, untracked->staged, etc) you now
have to press 'u'.

Hope this helps.

Nice. This was exactly what I had envisioned. Minor help text fixup is
below.

status window: mention 'u' instead of Enter

Commits ca1d71ea and 89d917a bound the Enter functionality
to 'u' (and Enter now shows the diff).

Works like a charm ! Thanks for the implementation.  Btw, I'm using
git (and tig) on MacosX and got it compiled by using the same remarks
you mention for FreeBSD, so may be you could add this to the INSTALL
document...

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I applied something like what you
sent yesterday.

Good to hear.

Now, I have to figure out how to clone git-gui's ability to stage
individual diff (c)hunks ... :)

Yes, it might be a good idea to add it, but I would like to add
a configure script to figure this sort of thing out automatically.
