0.2.4

Highlights

Adaptation to the size of the terminal

Before this version, selection prompts had a fixed size of 15 elements, regardless of the size of the terminal. This was a bit annoying in small terminals, as the rendering was likely to break.

Selection prompts now adapt their page size to the size of the terminal.

Experimental support for other VCS

This release introduces two new command line options to git z commit:

• --topic <TOPIC> allows to set the topic from which a ticket number is extracted, instead of the current Git branch,
• --command <COMMAND> enables to use a custom command instead of git commit -em "$message".

The <COMMAND> argument value should contain a $message variable, which is replaced by git z commit to the actual commit message.

These options can be used to integrate git-z with other VCS such as Jujutsu. For instance, we can define a jj-z-describe shell function like this:

jj-z-describe() {
    # First, get the closest bookmarks on top of which we are working.
    local bookmarks="$(
        jj log --no-graph -r 'heads(::@ & bookmarks())' -T 'self.bookmarks()'
    )"

    # Then, call `git z commit` with the `--topic` and `--command` options. Note
    # that we are piping the message through `sed` to change any `#` Git comment
    # marker to `JJ:`.
    git z commit \
        --topic "$bookmarks" \
        --command "sh -c \"\
            echo -n '\$message' \
            | sed 's/^#\(.*\)/JJ:\1/' \
            | jj describe $@ --edit --stdin\" \
            "
}

Please note that this support is experimental, and that git-z still has to be run from inside a Git repository. For using with Jujutsu, the repository must be configured in colocated mode.
