# gitin

`gitin` is a commit/branch/status explorer for `git`

gitin is a minimalist tool that lets you explore a git repository from the command line. You can search from commits, inspect individual files and changes in the commits. It is an alternative and interactive way to explore the commit history. Also, you can explore your current state by investigating diffs, stage your changes and commit them.

- Interactive stage and see the diff of files (`gitin status` then press `enter` to see diff or `space` to stage)
- Commit/amend changes (`gitin status` then press `c` to commit or `m` to amend)
- Interactive hunk staging (`gitin status` then press `p`)
- Explore branches with useful filter options (e.g. `gitin branch` press `enter` to checkout)
- Convenient UX and minimalist design
- See more options by running `gitin --help`, also you can get help for individual subcommands (e.g. `gitin log --help`)
