# git-switch-fzf
Simple bash wrapper around [git](https://github.com/git/git) and [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)
for interactively search branches( & tags ) and switching (and more) to them.
Do `git switch` or `git checkout` faster without remembering branch names!
Usage example in GNOME/gtk repository
## Install
Make sure that `fzf` is installed.
```shell
# on deb-based linux for example
sudo apt-get install fzf
# on mac
brew install fzf
```
Then copy git-switch-fzf script to some dir that is in your `$PATH` variable. See [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/20054809)
___
Or you can run `install.sh` from this repo.
```shell
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/emgyrz/git-switch-fzf ./git-switch-fzf-tmp && \
(./git-switch-fzf-tmp/install.sh || true) && \
rm -rf ./git-switch-fzf-tmp
```
___
#### (Optional) Add short alias
```shell
# default behavior
echo 'alias gco="git-switch-fzf"' >> ~/.zshrc
# search in remotes
echo 'alias gcor="git-switch-fzf --type remote"' >> ~/.zshrc
# update current environment
. ~/.zshrc
gco
# ...it works
```
## Usage
Copy from `git-switch-fzf --help`
Usage: git-switch-fzf [options]
### Options
#### -t, --type TYPE
Specify `TYPE` of git references where to search.
Can be 'local', 'remote', 'tags' separated with ',' comma.
Default is 'local'.
Short names are 'l', 'r' and 't'
#### -r, --remote
Same as '--type remote'
#### -e, --exec CMD
Command to which the selected value will be passed.
Default is 'git switch'
#### --take-hash
Return short commit hash instead of branch or tag name
#### --no-preview
Hide top preview
#### -h, --help
Print help message
### Examples
Basic usage without args
```sh
git-switch-fzf
```
Search in all references
```sh
git-switch-fzf --type local,remote,tags
# same as
git-switch-fzf -t r,t,l
```
Search only in tags
```sh
git-switch-fzf -type t
```
Use 'checkout' instead of 'switch'
```sh
git-switch-fzf -e "git checkout"
```
Just print to console selected item name
```sh
git-switch-fzf -e echo
```
Print to console hash of selected item
```sh
git-switch-fzf -e echo --take-hash
```
Use returned value in other command, e.g. for write it to file
```sh
echo "selected hash is \$(git-switch-fzf -e echo --take-hash)" > /tmp/test
```
