Why use ugit?

• You ran an accidental git command you wish to 'undo'.
• You want to save time by not searching for how to undo ...
• Your focus is on problems at hand and not on Git (avoid context switching)
• Because ugit is precise & uber cool !

Installation

Prerequisites

ugit dependencies:

• Bash >= 4.x.x
• Git >= 2.23.0
• fzf >= 0.21.0 - Installation guide
• GNU utils like awk, grep, tput etc

Linux

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit/master/install)"

Or Arch Linux users can install ugit via AUR.

Mac

brew install ugit

Windows

To use ugit on windows you need to install:

1. Git Bash
   Git bash comes with git (if you have installed it on your machine then no need). To install git (preferably with scoop):

   scoop install git
   

2. FZF

   scoop install fzf
   

   Alternatively, with Chocolatey:

   choco install fzf
   

3. To use bash in terminal change your directory to **git\2.35.3.windows.1\bin\bash** accordingly.

4. Then either clone the repo,

   git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit.git

   or get it using curl:

   sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit/master/install)"

Fig

Fig adds apps, shortcuts, and autocomplete to your existing terminal.

Install ugit in just one click.

ZSH Frameworks

Zgenom

If you're using Zgenom:

1. Add zgenom load Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc along with your other zgenom load commands.
2. zgenom reset && zgenom save

Antigen

If you're using Antigen:

1. Add antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc where you've listed your other plugins.
2. Close and reopen your Terminal/iTerm window to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can run antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit in a running shell to have antigen load the new plugin.

Oh-My-ZSH

If you're using oh-my-zsh:

1. Clone the repository into a new ugit directory in oh-my-zsh's plugin folder:

   git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/ugit

2. Edit your ~/.zshrc and add ugit – same as clone directory – to the list of plugins to enable:

   plugins=( ... ugit )

3. Then, restart your terminal application to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can source your current shell configuration:

   source ~/.zshrc

Please read ⚠️

Git comes with a garbage collector (in case you didn't know) therefore undoing some commands will become impossible if the entries are deleted from the reflog. One way to prevent this is to increase default time limits before the reflog entries expire.

Add these configuration in your global .gitconfig file:

[gc]
    # default 90 days
    reflogExpire = 200

Used to set how long records in a branches reflog should be preserved.

[gc]
    # default 30 days
    reflogExpireUnreachable = 90

Used to set how long inaccessible reflog records should be preserved.
