# git-recall
> Simple and handy tool to easily recall what you've done
## Purpose
`git-recall` is a simple tool that allows you to easily go through your commits and
check what you or other contributors in your team did. It doesn't aim to be a replacement for the
`git log` command, but just to be a convenient way to recall what you've done from your terminal.
## Usage
```sh
$ git recall [-a ]
[-d ]
[-b ]
[-p ]
[-f]
[-h]
[-v]
```
##### Options description:
- `-a` - Restrict search for a specific user (use -a "all" for all users)
- `-d` - Display commits for the last n days
- `-b` - Specify branch to display commits from
- `-p` - Specify path/s or file/s to display commits from
- `-f` - Fetch the latest changes
- `-h` - Show help screen
- `-v` - Show version
##### How to use:
Once the commits are displayed, you can use either the `arrow keys` or `j/k` to switch between commits,
press `TAB` or `e` to `expand/reduce` the commit's diff or `q` to quit.
##### Limitations:
when the number of lines between the commits list and a commit's diff is higher than the current terminal session's number of lines,
the result will be displayed using the [`less`](http://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix_commands/less.htm) program which will open the diff in a separate screen.
You can still use either `TAB` or `q` to return to the commits list.
## Examples
```sh
$ git recall
# By default (without options), the command will display commits from yesterday and
# for the current user.
```
```sh
$ git recall -d 5 -a "Doge"
# The command will show all Doge's commits from 5 days ago.
$ git recall -d 5 -a "all"
# The command will show commits of all contributors from 5 days ago.
```
```sh
$ git recall -f
# Fetch commits beforehand.
```
## Installation
##### Without using tools
You can install it by simply copying the `git-recall` script into any existing path
(e.g. `/usr/local/bin`) or create your own directory and add it to the `PATH` variable.
Make sure to run `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-recall` or the directory in which you copied it to.

```sh
npm install --global git-recall
```
##### Manual install
