Git hash-select

Description

Standalone command

git hash-select is a minimal command to help with retrieving commit hashes.

Using fzf it's possible to retrieve commit hashes directly to clipboard using full-screen fuzzy search (Without erasing the text on terminal before-hand).

The command is compltely POSIX shell-based, with no compiled code, which makes it minimally compatible with all architectures and almost all Linux distributions.

Using git hash-select is as simple as typing git hash-select in your shell after the installation. Type git hash-select -h to see what you can do with it!

Shell Bindings

The most useful feature of the git hash-select package is the optional shell binding.
The package comes with an optional shell binding that can be sourced for increased productivity. Pressing Ctrl+g when in a git repository will open an inline version of the commit picker, inserting the hash directly into the line.

The supported shells are: Bash, Zshell, Fish and Dash.

Using the bindings:

# Put the correct file extension according to your shell
GIT_HASH_BINDINGS_FILE="/usr/share/git-hash-select/bindings/git-hash-select-bindings.bash"
if [ -f "${GIT_HASH_BINDINGS_FILE}" ]; then
    source "${GIT_HASH_BINDINGS_FILE}"
fi

The binding is configurable, with options being togglable by modifying environment values:

GIT_HASH_SELECT_KEY # If set then overrides the default key binding ("\\C-g", Ctrl+g)
GIT_HASH_SELECT_NO_COLOR # If set when sourcing then color is disabled in selector.
GIT_HASH_SELECT_NO_PREVIEW # If set when sourcing then the commit preview window is turned off.
GIT_HASH_SELECT_REFLOG_KEY # If set when sourcing that an additional binding for the reflog is done for the specified key.

Installation

For Archlinux: git-hash-select is available on the AUR

For all other Linux systems: Running the ./install.sh script will set-up the files in the correct location on your PC.

Currently non-Linux systems (MacOS, Windows) aren't supported.
