Interactive git and more

Igit - Interactive Git

Igit is an interactive supplementary CLI to git for better git experience.

Main features:

1. Fast commits - add, commit & push, instantly.
2. Undo changes - cancel changes made to any file.
3. Branch hopping - move between branches, even if you have unstaged changes, without having to stage them.
4. Easy ignore - add files to ignore, sync with remote.
5. Interactivity - select and check instead of typing.

Installation

With pip:

pip install igit

Usage

Fast commits

From:

# git add .
# git commit -m "commit message"
# git push 

To:

igit up "commit message" 

Notes:

• If you don't specify a commit message it will default to 'fast commit'.
• Same goes for igit save - without pushing to remote.

Undo changes

# To undo changes in an unstaged changed file:
igit undo file_1.py 
# To pick a file just drop the file's name:
igit undo

Notes:

• Same goes for igit unstage with respect to added files.

Branch hopping

# To change branches:
igit branch
# To change branches with unstaged changes:
igit branch --hopping_on 

Notes:

• When in hopping mode all change are stored to the git stash. You can use git stash list to see stashed changes and git stash pop to retrieve stashed changes

Branch hopping

# To add files to .gitignore:
igit ignore
# To create a .gitignore:
igit ignore --create  

Notes:

• In case your local .gitignore is not in sync with your remote .gitignore you can use:

# Reset .gitignore:
igit ignore --reset 

And then push to remote - your current .gitignore will take effect.

Compatibility

igit is cross-platform → Windows, macOS, Linux

🤓 windows users will get best experience with windows terminal - powershell session.
