stage single lines

[realtimeprojects]

The feature i miss most in tig is the ability to stage single lines (no hunks) from the stage view.

Can git-apply(1) do single lines?

[realtimeprojects]

To be honest.. i don't know exactly. I took a look at the man page and .. i
think not.

But: From the "users point of view" i don't care about this. I did not even
know that tig is using git-apply for doing that stuff. I just know other
tools like "git gui" etc. and this tools are able to do this and i'm
missing this feature in my favorite tool "tig". :-)

Best regards,
Claudio

I would love to have this feature as well. I think that the tools that allow this use git-add -e in some form.

Initial support for staging of single lines is now available. [edited]

Anyway, please test. It is bound to Ctrl-u by default. Hitting that combo after selecting a line in the stage view should do the trick.

Any preferences regarding the default keybinding?

[realtimeprojects]

ctrl-u is fine for me. I tested it and it works well! Thanks a lot!

I just recognized that it does (obviously) not work on new files which are not added to git yet. But i think nobody needs that really.

Again, many thanks!

Good catch, I've added logic to catch those cases (untracked and newly added files) and display a message.

[realtimeprojects]

I just tested it. Well done!

What might be the reason for the key binding to have stopped working? "1" doesn't do anything now and a quick search looks less than helpful.

Edit: Can't quickly find where the key bindings went. REQ_EDIT neither has the key binding defined as before it seams.

@Giszmo Try to run Tig with TIGRC_USER=none set to not read any user config file. Also please create a new issue if this persists.
