OrangeGitFish

This is my electron Git GUI application, OrangeGitFish! I aim to provide the majority of features that git provides but within a GUI!

Features so far:

• Initialize an empty repository
• Open a repository
• Clone a repository
• Fetch
• Pull
• Push
• Stage files (individual or all)
• Unstage (i.e. reset) files
• Commit changes
• View the history in the graph
• Checkout branches
• Create new branches
• And more!

Running on Linux

You will need to run the following commands in order to properly save credentials.

• Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install libsecret-1-dev
• Red Hat-based: sudo yum install libsecret-devel
• Arch-based: sudo pacman -S libsecret

Development

Setup environment: run npm install, then run npm run install-app-deps (which takes a really long time as it's compiling nodegit). If those steps throw any errors, be sure to install the missing dependencies or log an issue. You may want to install nvm and run nvm use in the project directory in order to use the correct version of node.

Windows Development

Perform the following steps in order:

• Install Python2 and Python3
• Install the LTS version (<17) of Nodejs (DO NOT use nvm unless you know what you're doing)
• When installing Nodejs, be sure to select the option to install additional compilation tools and such (if the install fails/hangs halfway through, this is normal).
• Make sure that Chocolatey is installed
• (Potentially optional) install visual studio community 2017
• Run the following: choco install visualstudio2017buildtools (yes, even if visual studio community 2017 is installed. Also, 2017 specifically is required as it is hardcoded in nodegit)
• Run the following: choco install openssl (yes, even though it gets built during npm install)
• Run the following: choco install nasm and add the directory containing the NASM executable to your PATH variable (yes, even though it's bundled with nodejs)
• Install Strawberry Perl
• Clone OrangeGitFish somewhere
• In the OrangeGitFish directory, Run npm install
• Run npm run install-app-deps
• Run npm run start
