Add status for subdirectories that are git repositories #797

alpn · 2021-01-31T16:51:10Z

This PR adds an optional Repo column, showing git information about repositories located directly under the currently searched path, as requested in #730 and #420.

Currently it piggybacks the —git flag (and works in conjunction with it)

To be honest I don’t really care about this feature so it wasn’t in my priorities, but it looks very small and clean so I think I’d like to merge it.

However:

What’s X and V? These labels are not intuitive in my opinion
I wonder if it should be the same as --git or split into its own flag

Edit: also, could you fix the small conflict with master?

ariasuni · 2021-06-30T09:04:38Z

In fact I think it’s a cool feature if it works with git submodules. Do you think you could check that?

alpn · 2021-06-30T09:33:24Z

Thanks for the feedback @ariasuni

The X and V labels indicate the status of the the entire repository as either dirty (e.g there are uncommitted changes) or clean (the equivalent of git status returning “nothing to commit, working tree clean“) respectively.
It's somewhat inspired by oh-my-zsh, and the screenshot that @YAMLcase provided in #730.
How would you suggest to make it more intuitive?

Submodules already get detected as repos in their own right, and as such, their status will be shown as well.

YAMLcase · 2021-06-30T12:33:19Z

How would you suggest to make it more intuitive?

One option:
Nothing or an underscore/dash for clean, 1-9 for number of changed files or lines. 9 would indicate "9 or more" like some badge systems that stick to a single digit.

alpn · 2021-07-22T12:00:54Z

Thanks @YAMLcase, but honestly I prefer to keep it simple and stick to an explicit binary indicator (i.e, either clear or dirty)
However, here’s another option inspired by your comment:

Do you find it more intuitive @ariasuni?

I too was debating about adding a separate flag vs piggybacking --git, but had eventually decided to go with the latter because:

Having used this feature myself for a few months now, I never felt like a special flag was missing.
It’s simpler, and requires less changes to the code base.

That being said, I’m open to adding it if you think it’s crucial.

Otherwise, I’ve fixed the conflicts with master so it’s should be mergeable now.

I'd love to see this merged!

Up to date with upstream again.
@ariasuni please let me know if there’s anything else I could do to get it merged.

For the branch name, you're showing only short branch names.
It's not uncommon to work with medium to long branch names like fix-for-this-long-feature-name, I fear the result would be a lot of blank spaces..
Would it be possible to add an option to limit the size of the displayed branch name ? (like 10 or 15 chars max)

Thanks @bew, good point!
Added “indicative” truncation when branch name exceeds 10 chars, so this:

Becomes this:

Also fixed the other issue.

arazabishov · 2022-05-13T12:41:03Z

This is awesome! Thank you for making this change. My 2 cents, assuming that git status is used to get branch/status info.

Some git repos are massive and running git status on them can be very slow. It would be great to have a flag or a config option to switch off the clean/dirty column.
With branch names we have several options that are faster than git status, such as git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD.

ariasuni · 2022-05-13T15:06:21Z

Exa uses libgit2 directly (which is slow anyway…)…

roland-5 · 2022-05-16T13:51:27Z

Is there option to change from libgit2 to https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide ?

ariasuni · 2022-05-16T16:54:31Z

It’s not very clear to me if gitoxide has a way to get status info (not even talking about the fact it has to be either a crate, or the output of the gix command for status info has to have a porcelain mode), though it sounds promising.

arazabishov · 2022-10-04T09:07:59Z

What is left on this PR to get addressed before it can be merged?

…-repos and -—git-repos-no-status The latter skips git status lookup and thereby faster

alpn · 2022-10-09T21:12:35Z

Thanks for the feedback @arazabishov

I’ve just added two dedicated flags for this feature:

--git-repos - shows both the status, and the branch name (like in the screenshots above)
--git-repos-no-status - skips the status lookup altogether and is hence much faster, as expected :)

Running exa with --git-repos-no-status returns almost immediately, even for directories with lots of repos (including, e.g linux, and openbsd)

alpn · 2023-08-12T20:21:08Z

Fixed some minor conflicts, so it's gtg again.
Would still love to see this one merged in @ariasuni :)

ariasuni · 2023-09-09T00:12:51Z

Closing this, since exa is unmaintained (see #1243), and this has been merged in the active fork eza. Thanks!
