GitUI: A Blazing Fast Terminal Client for Git Written in Rust
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
The [basic Git commands][1] are good enough for the usual clone, add, commit push.
|
||
|
||
But if you are working on a large project with multiple contributors, you may need to visualize things. A GUI tool gives a better view on the diff, stash and blame.
|
||
|
||
But then, if you are a terminal dweller, who wants the comfort of GUI with Git, I have got a good tool for you.
|
||
|
||
It is called GitUI and it provides user experience and comfort similar to a git GUI but right in your terminal. It is portable, fast, free and open source.
|
||
|
||
### GitUI: A terminal based tool for Git
|
||
|
||
[GitUI][2] is not the first Git client for Linux terminal. So, what makes GitUI different than other similar projects like [lazygit][3] or [tig][4]?
|
||
|
||
GitUI developer has shared some benchmark in the README file of the project.
|
||
|
||
| Time | Memory (GB) | Binary (MB) | Freezes | Crashes
|
||
---|---|---|---|---|---
|
||
gitui | 24 s | 0.17 | 1.4 | No | No
|
||
lazygit | 57 s | 2.6 | 16 | Yes | Sometimes
|
||
tig | 4 m 20 s | 1.3 | 0.6 | Sometimes | No
|
||
|
||
Comparison between GitUI, LazyGit, and Tig; simple user interfaces for Git
|
||
|
||
Most of this optimization comes from the use of Rust programming language.
|
||
|
||
_**Note: This program is in early stages of development and is not production ready yet.**_
|
||
|
||
### Installing GitUI on Linux
|
||
|
||
Needless to say, you should have [Git installed on your system][5] already.
|
||
|
||
To use GitUI, you need to [install Rust support for your Linux distribution][6] first.
|
||
|
||
In a terminal, use the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
![Installing Rust on Linux][7]
|
||
|
||
Go with option 1 when you are asked for a choice. When script finishes installation, set the configuration right with this command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
source $HOME/.cargo/env
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now that you have Rust and its package manager Cargo installed, use the Cargo command to install GitUI:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
cargo install gitui
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And you’re ready to use GitUI, for that just type `gitui` in the terminal to run it. I made some sample files to play with Git and GitUI.
|
||
|
||
![Starting gitui on terminal][8]
|
||
|
||
It’s important to mention that the interface has a fast and intuitive keyboard-only control. Everything is as easy as type the correct letter to stage, commit, branch, or push your files into your git repository.
|
||
|
||
Something that really gets me excited was that you can not only do the four actions before, but you can also **edit** each file, **pull** it, **blame** it, **navigate** inside it, and more things; everything without existing from the interface. Awesome, isn’t it?
|
||
|
||
![More functions inside the interface][9]
|
||
|
||
Felicitations! Now you know how to install GitUI and how it looks like in your terminal.
|
||
|
||
If you like the project, start its repository on [GitHub][2]. If you use some other tool to manage Git, please suggest your favorite in the comment section.
