gitbr

git-br

A very simple interactive cli tool to handle your local git branches. Currently in alpha stage.

I wrote it because normally I work with tons of local branches and I needed a better way to handle them than git branch.

I know tig has a branches (refs) view, but I wanted to try something to show the changes easier.

install

Download, compile and install with go get -u github.com/gonzaloserrano/git-br/cmd/git-br.

If you don't have $GOPATH/bin in your $PATH, you can for e.g $ cp $GOPATH/bin/git-br /usr/local/bin.

use

Type git br in your repo or provide a path as a first argument.

todo

• use colored labels for distinguish diff added, modified, deleted
• if no path is passed, and we are not in the .git dir, look it up in the parent tree
• display repo path
• highlight master/develop branches
• use enter to switch and quite, shift-enter to just switch
• add delete feature
• improve performance when moving between lines, add delay + cancelation
• show origin branches like tig
• add delete all branches that are already merged feature
• add live mode: use a goroutine to refresh branches
• remove columnize dep
