DISCLAIMER: So far, this code has been only lightly tested with a very narrow usecase and only on macOS. Have a look at the source to make sure it will work for you before running it in you project. It is intended as a tool to ease browsing the history of a project NOT to replace or teach ANY Git functionality.
GoBrowse is a Git add-on to easily browse project history from within a sandbox in the project directory. The goal is to ease the pain of rolling through commits, be it for learning a new project or just to grab a lost line of code.
Get the source with go get github.com/cbergoon/git-gobrowse
Build the source with go install github.com/cbergoon/git-gobrowse
Move to a directory on your path with mv $GOPATH/bin/git-gobrowse /usr/local/bin/git-gobrowse
Start gobrowse by running:
git gobrowse -i
or
git-gobrowse -i
This will start a REPL from which the repository can be explored with the commands in the next section. Keep in mind,
all changes to repo state are made in the .sandbox directory.
clone: Re-clone the current repository into the .sandbox directory.
list: List all commits. Notating the current commit.
branch-list: List all branches.
move \<hash>: Move to a specific commit.
first: Move to the repositories first commit.
last: Move to the repositories last commit.
prev: Move back one commit.
next: Move forward one commit.
branch \<branch>: Switch to a specified branch.
And thats it!
- Implement 'help' command
- Implement 'clean' command
- Kinda messy. Could be a lot better with some refactoring...
- Better testing?
- Show +/- 10 commits on list. With ...above and below...
