Tips

Open a subdir in gitz

Run

cd ~/kde/src/plasma-workspace
gitz ./applets/digital-clock

or

cd ~/kde/src/plasma-workspace/applets/digital-clock
gitz .

to only list commits from ./applets/digital-clock in the history view, and only the changes to files in that folder in the commit view. There is a "Show full commit" button if you want to read the entire commit.

Bind Ctrl+Shift+K to open gitz in SublimeText

Create ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/gitz.py with:

subl ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/gitz.py

Then add the following code to run gitz when we call the open_gitz sublime command.

# Based on Terminal.py

import sublime
import sublime_plugin
import os
import sys
import subprocess


class OpenGitzCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
	def get_path(self, paths):
		if paths:
			return paths[0]
		# DEV: On ST3, there is always an active view.
		#   Be sure to check that it's a file with a path (not temporary view)
		elif self.window.active_view() and self.window.active_view().file_name():
			return self.window.active_view().file_name()
		elif self.window.folders():
			return self.window.folders()[0]
		else:
			sublime.error_message('Terminal: No place to open terminal to')
			return False

	def run(self, paths=[], parameters=None, terminal=None):
		path = self.get_path(paths)
		if not path:
			return

		if os.path.isfile(path):
			path = os.path.dirname(path)

		subprocess.Popen([
			'gitz'
		], cwd=path)

Then open the Command Palette Ctrl+Shift+P and search for Preferences: Key Bindings. Paste the following shortcut to bind Ctrl+Shift+K to run the open_gitz command.
