A tool for interactively manipulating the history of git repos and for making easy (enforcing) the usage of good (opinionated) practices.
Caution: this is very much work in progress.
gg is built as a single statically linked binary. So to install it you can
just download the binary from the latest
nightly build
and chmod +x it.
Alternatively, you can build it with nix. You can speed up the build by using
nix binary caches, thanks to Cachix, by adding these
to your ~/.config/nix/nix.conf:
substituters = [...] https://static-haskell-nix.cachix.org https://gg.cachix.org
trusted-public-keys = [...] static-haskell-nix.cachix.org0:Q17HawmAwaM1/BfIxaEDKAxwTOyRVhPG5Ji9K3+FvUU= gg.cachix.org-1:pCGtBoTzcTr3Nd5ou0061JBJpZPUWBBfChdAp7H8xh8=
- Apply changes immediately - no stage/index.
- Easy undo/redo.
- Re-order commits.
- Move commits to different branches.
- Cut/Copy paste commits.
- Protect master commits from changes. Prevent (force?) pushing to master.
- Update policy (fetch/rebase/push).
- Update all branches (only fail for the current one).
- Cut/Copy paste changes around.
- Merge strategy (create merge commit and push after rebase).
- Read configuration from
~/.gitconfig. - Auto-refresh repo view powered by inotify.
- Collapse commits corresponding to merge into one, visually (implies rebase-merge strategy). Collapsed commit can be expanded. No complicated history graph: collapse feature branch commits into a single list.
- Upon startup gg saves all uncommitted changes and untracked files (but not
ignored) to a commit on HEAD (named
WIP - gg) and upon exit resets all those commits that are on top. This is done that local changes are not lost while re-writing the history. - Protect from merging WIP commits to master. Same for TODO/XXX/FIXME/FIXUP/SQUASHME.
- Always push with lease when updating remote.
- GTK GUI
- Enforce commit messages guidelines. Auto format to re-wrap text of commit messages. Limit title line length. Disallow non-imperative phrasing.
- When rebasing/updating a branch, rebase also other branches that are on top of that: rebase on top of the commit that diverged from the other branch.
- git pull/fetch always with --prune
- git push non-master branches always with --force-with-lease
- Knows about merge requests on bitbucket/github/gitlab etc. Knows to fetch info from them and also close merge requests there. Also annotates (merge) commits with merge request info from there.
- Recursive git blame: ability to follow a line as it changed throughout the git history.
- Support for different git workflows (Git flow command).
