uGit – The ultimate undo button for Git

Command-line wrapper for undoing any Git action so you can rebase fearlessly.

uGit saves incrimental versions of your entire repo (including your .git directory) before each Git action. It's the functional equivavlent of copying of your entire repo before typing a Git command, except 100x awesomer.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ugit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ugit

Usage

TODO use http://www.awesomecommandlineapps.com/gems.html

Assuming you've aliased git to ugit, you can type Git commands as usual

$ git add file1 file2
$ git pull --rebase

history

git history lists your each git command you typed

$ git history

 v21 | before | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35
 v22 | after  | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35
 ----------------------------------------------
 v23 | before | pull            | Thu 3/6 10:35
 v24 | after  | pull            | Thu 3/6 10:35
 ----------------------------------------------
 v25 | before | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35
*v26 | after  | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35

restore

git restore v24 restores your repo to the 24th version that uGit saved. In the above case, right after you pulled.

$ git restore v24
$ git history

 v21 | before | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35
 v22 | after  | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35
 ----------------------------------------------
 v23 | before | pull            | Thu 3/6 10:35
 v24 | after  | pull            | Thu 3/6 10:35
 ----------------------------------------------
 v25 | before | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35
 v26 | after  | add file1 file2 | Thu 3/6 11:35
 ----------------------------------------------
 v27 | before | restore v24     | Thu 3/6 11:37
 v28 | before | restore v24     | Thu 3/6 11:37

As you'll notice, you don't actually go backwards in time to the 24th version. You merely slap the 24th version onto the top of your history. This allows you do restore fearlessly, because you can always undo your undo (and on and on).

undo

git undo restores your project to the state immediately before your last git command

$ git undo
Restored to immediately before your command "add file1 file2" (v25)
$ git undo
Restored to immediately before your command "add file1 file2" (v23)

redo
