Why use ugit?

  • You accidentally ran a git command you wish to 'undo'.
  • You want to save time by not searching for how to undo ...

Installation

Try ugit via Docker:

docker pull bhupeshimself/ugit
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app bhupeshimself/ugit

Prerequisites

ugit dependencies:

<br>

Packaging status

Linux

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit/master/install)"

Arch Linux users can install ugit via AUR.

Mac

brew install ugit

Windows

To use ugit on Windows you need to install:

  1. Git Bash<br> Git bash comes with git (if you have installed it on your machine then no need). To install git (preferably with scoop):

    scoop install git
    
  2. FZF

    scoop install fzf
    

    Alternatively, with Chocolatey:

    choco install fzf
    
  3. To use bash in terminal change your directory to **git\2.35.3.windows.1\bin\bash** accordingly.

  4. Then either clone the repo,

    git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit.git
    

    or get it using curl:

    sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit/master/install)"

ZSH Frameworks

Zgenom

If you're using Zgenom:

  1. Add zgenom load Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc along with your other zgenom load commands.
  2. zgenom reset && zgenom save

Antigen

If you're using Antigen:

  1. Add antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc where you've listed your other plugins.
  2. Close and reopen your Terminal/iTerm window to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can run antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit in a running shell to have antigen load the new plugin.

Oh-My-ZSH

If you're using oh-my-zsh:

  1. Clone the repository into a new ugit directory in oh-my-zsh's plugin folder:

    git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/ugit

  2. Edit your ~/.zshrc and add ugit – same as clone directory – to the list of plugins to enable:

    plugins=( ... ugit )

  3. Then, restart your terminal application to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can source your current shell configuration:

    source ~/.zshrc

Note on git-undo Command Conflict

If you have both ugit and git-extras (https://github.com/tj/git-extras) installed, be aware that both provide a git-undo command. This can lead to conflicts, as only one version of the command will be accessible at a time. To resolve this:

  • Using Homebrew: Homebrew will notify you of the conflict during installation. You can choose to unlink the conflicting formula or use the --overwrite flag to force the link as follows:

    brew link --overwrite ugit

  • Manual Installation: Ensure that the git-undo command from the desired package is prioritized in your system's PATH.

Please read ⚠️

Git comes with a garbage collector (in case you didn't know) therefore undoing some commands will become impossible if the entries are deleted from the reflog. One way to prevent this is to increase default time limits before the reflog entries expire.

Add these configurations in your global .gitconfig file:

[gc]
    # default 90 days
    reflogExpire = 200

Used to set how long records in a branch reflog should be preserved.

[gc]
    # default 30 days
    reflogExpireUnreachable = 90

Used to set how long inaccessible reflog records should be preserved.
