Check it out, before you checkout.

Check It Out lets you interactively see and choose what branch you want to check out without the hassle of trying to type out a long or confusing branch name. Checking out branches just got even simpler!

## Requirements

[Node >= v16](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v16.20.1) - _note:_ developed and tested on Node 16 and up. There isn't a guarantee this will work on earlier versions.

[Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) - Required for core features

## Compatibility

Check It Out currently has known issues with Windows. Some users have reported it working while others have reported that it does not. It is built and tested mostly in an Arch Linux environment with some user testing on MacOS and other Linux distributions. We're currently looking for help figuring out why Check It Out is unstable on Windows. See [CIO-128](https://github.com/jwu910/check-it-out/issues/128)

## Installation

We're on [NPM!](https://www.npmjs.org/package/check-it-out)

```

npm install -g check-it-out

```

### Installing from source

[Fork](https://github.com/jwu910/check-it-out#fork-destination-box) or clone the repository

```

git clone https://github.com/jwu910/check-it-out.git

```

Navigate to your repository directory and run

```

npm install

```

Create a symbolic link to the entry point

In the repository directory run:

```

npm link

```

## Local development

From your repository directory run

```

npm run build

```

To start the application you can run

```

node dist/index.js

```

or

```

npm start

```

If you want to test your local build in other repositories, you can use `npm link` which will let you run your local build files with the `cio` or `checkit` aliases.

## Usage

To get started, just run:

```

checkit

```

or

```

cio

```

## Settings

Git log argument validation is planned, but not finished. Currently, if the git log fails, space should not crash the app, but the process should not spawn at all.

Configurable settings can be found at `~/.config/configstore/check-it-out.json`

Options include:

- gitLogArguments

  - Type: Array

  - Default: `['--color=always', '--pretty=format:%C(yellow)%h %Creset%s%Cblue [%cn] %Cred%d ']`

  - Array of strings of valid git log arguments.

- sort

  - Type: String

  - Default: -committerdate

  - Sort references by latest commit date. Value must be a valid sort key or Check It Out will break on start.

- themeColor

  - Type: String

  - Default: `#FFA66D`

  - A hex color code to style Check It Out

To reset Check It Out to its original configurations listed above, start with the flag `--reset-config`:

```

cio --reset-config

```
