# Enhanced Git Log

*Enhanced Git Log* adds useful key commands to your existing `git log` pager on the command line.

It is done by configuring a custom `lesskey` file to be loaded by the `git log` pager. This can be removed at any time by deleting the `pager.log` configuration value from the global `.gitconfig` file. The uninstall command below does this also. See the `Makefile` for details.

## Installation

> ***Warning**: as of right now, the install script sets the `pager.log` configuration property, but does not back up or restore any existing configuration. Please back up your `pager.log` configuration before installing.*

```shell

git clone [email protected]:drewbrokke/enhanced-git-log.git

cd enhanced-git-log

make install

```

## Uninstall

```shell

cd enhanced-git-log

make uninstall

```

## Usage

### How it works

All key commands act on the commit found at the top line of the `git log` pager, or the first line from the top that contains a commit hash.

`tab-*` commands will receive a second commit to create and act on a commit range. The **contents of the clipboard** will be passed in as the second commit (you can press `x` or `y` to copy the top line's commit hash to the clipboard). The two commits are automatically sorted by ancestry, parent first.

For example, pressing `d` will execute: `git diff {commit from top line}`

Pressing `tab-d` will execute: `git diff {parent}^..{child}`.

### Key Commands

All tab commands receive the top-line commit as the first argument, and the clipboard contents as the second argument.

| `spacebar` | `git show {commit}` |

| `x` or `y` | Copy current commit hash to the clipboard |

| `F` | `git commit --fixup={commit}` |

| `I` | `git rebase --autosquash --interactive {commit}^` |

| `l` | List files changed in commit |

| `o` | Open files changed in commit |

| `P` | `git format-patch {commit}` |

| `R` | `git revert {commit}` |

| `t` | `git difftool {commit}` |

| `tab-C` | `git cherry-pick {parent}..{child}` |

| `tab-d` | `git diff {parent}..{child}` |

| `tab-l` | List files changed in commit range |

| `tab-o` | Open files changed in commit range |

| `tab-P` | `git format-patch {parent}..{child}` |
