roeme / shgit Goto Github PK

My experience from using and teaching git-sh suggests that for aliased commands it helps to see the command the alias maps to.

The relevant PR to git-sh is here: https://github.com/armano2/git-sh/pull/11/files. Can we port it over?

I think the +x-y or = indicators that git-sh had are helpful to understand quickly if a push/pull action is needed. How many syscalls do we need for:

git for-each-ref --format="%(upstream:track)%(upstream:trackshort)" refs/heads/master

The "dirty" indicator would be nice to have too.

Only after playing with shgit I realized how much I'm relying on the autocomplete features of git-sh, in particular for aliases. What needs to be done to make them available here?

Implement some kind of automated testing, so we can implement CI, and maybe CD. This is also of some importance since I'd like to target more than one version of bash (and even zsh, maybe?), and maybe even some other platforms and stuff.

Other projects already solve the prompting problem in a very sophisticated way:

• https://github.com/magicmonty/bash-git-prompt
• https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git

Can we offer an option to not override the prompt, except perhaps prepending shgit or something else that indicates we are in the shell? We could enable the built-in prompt if PROMPT_COMMAND is unset, and that prompt could stay lightweight.

Most .sh files are missing a final newline. I have tried to work around with editorconfig, but this isn't supported with my editor: editorconfig/editorconfig-vscode#153.

Do you feel strongly about newlines at EOF? Would an .editorconfig that enables this setting only for this project help?

I have defined quite a few aliases which I'd like to have available as top-level commands in a Git shell. git-sh had this, would you support this here too?

./install.sh install writes two entries in the Git config that contain absolute paths. I'd rather exclude these parts from the global Git config.

For me, the following works:

.gitconfig

[include]
	path = .gitconfig.shgit

.gitconfig.shgit

[shgit]
	quiet-init = true
	prompt-command-mode = stealthy
	verbose-exec = true
	location = /.../git/shgit
[alias]
	sh = !'/.../git/shgit/shgit.sh'

Should ./install.sh default to writing an external file and adding only an include?
