Introduction

Aren't you done of cloning a whole repository just to get a single file ?
Wgit is the tool made for you.
Be able to retrieve only desired files from a repository.

Features

• In-memory clone
• Repository navigation
• Simple configuration
• Intuitive interface
• Multiple authentication methods
• Easy-to-use
• Cross-platform

🧠 In-memory clone

Wgit clones the desired repository in memory. This prevents writing to disk unnecessarily. It extends the life of your disk.

Info("Cloning github.com/go-git/go-billy in memory")
storer := memory.NewStorage()
bfs := memfs.New()

r, err := git.Clone(storer, bfs, &git.CloneOptions{
    URL: "https://github.com/go-git/go-billy",
})

🚢 Repository navigation

Wgit allows you to navigate inside a Git repository directly from your terminal.

📄 Simple configuration

Wgit is easily configurable on first launch. It asks you few questions and store it in a file ($HOME/.config/wgit/config.json). The prompt will ask you for the following things :

• Git username
• Default repository
• Prefered authentication method (SSH/HTTP/Access Token)
• Access token (with at least read rights)

Here is an exemple of configuration file:

{
  "Username": "atsika",
  "Token": "XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
  "SSHkeyPath": "/home/atsika/.ssh/id_rsa",
  "Repository": "https://github.com/atsika/test-wgit",
  "AuthMethod": "Access Token"
}

⌨️ Intuitive interface

Wgit is designed with an intuitive TUI to make it usage simple. It shows messages on file selection/removal. Pressing Ctrl + C will pop an action menu with the following options:

• Back: go back to file selection
• List selected files: displays all selected files as a list
• Get selected files: downloads all selected files to current directory
• Exit: quit the program

🔑 Multiple authentication methods

Wgit allows you to authenticate to your Git server using following methods:

• SSH (will require you to set SSH private key path)
• Access Token (will require you to set an access token)
• HTTP (uses username and prompt you for password)

🔰 Easy-to-use

With few clicks, Wgit allows to rapidly and easily perform some basic tasks like grabbing some juicy code from Github that would take your more actions than if it were done by the tool.
Wgit embeds a search filter so you could find your files faster.

💡 When setting up configuration, auto-completion is enabled for SSH private key full path.

🤝 Cross-platform

Since Wgit is made in Go and is using full cross-platform packages, it should run on any platform.

⚠️ Currently only tested on:

• Linux Fedora 34

Feel free to test it on other platform and submit a merge request with updated README.md.
