jhermsmeier / git-branch-select Goto Github PK

Hi @jhermsmeier ✋

I put incorrect name of branch and I that error ocured:

g branch-select
✔ Select a branch: › q
/Users/piecioshka/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/lib/node_modules/git-branch-select/node_modules/command-join/command-join.js:24
    for (let char of command) {
                     ^

TypeError: command is not iterable

Maybe you can handle this and display error message without quiting interactive mode?

It would have been nice to have the option to sort by committerdate instead of alphabetically, so that you get your most recently used branches first, like in:

git branch --sort=-committerdate

When cancelling the script instead of choosing a branch, the cursor disappears.

Resourcing the terminal doesn't work. I have to close and reopen it.

I love the git branch-select feature (and actually I find it odd that such a useful usage isn't built in git, alongside git checkout -p and git add -p !)

Most often, I want to checkout a branch that has been freshly modified by a colleague, after a git fetch. Would it be possible and sensible to :

• include in list the branches origin/xxx that I've never checkouted yet, and
• sort them by date (not alphabetically) ?

Hello,

when I run branch-select I get

$ git branch-select
? Select a branch: ›
❯   [object Object]

git branch works fine so I am really not understanding what is going on here:

$ git branch
  feature/***
  feature/$$$
  feature/###
* master

Running node v12.7 and git v2.11 on Debian 9.

Thanks!

First try didn't work for me :

$ sudo npm install --global git-branch-select
$ git branch-select
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/git-branch-select/node_modules/prompt-base/index.js:819
  var prompt = new this(...args);

When list shows up alphabetically, it would be extra-super-nice to type 2 or 3 letters of desired branch, to filter the list and display only the branches that contain this exact substring in their name (case-insensitive).

? Select branch (Use arrow keys)
> Assemblyman
  Amusingness
  Antitruster
  Antielitist
  Autoclaving

pha

? Select branch (Use arrow keys)
> Elephant
  Pharmacy

Noticed this when switching back to Linux from Mac for some dev work.

Viewing the list of branches works on both devices...

$ g bs
? Select a branch: › 
❯   master
    roller
    t/linear-release
    t/tx-view-iterate-0
    origin / ja/gh-issue-template
    origin / t/spawn-point-ux

... but filtering now shows [Object object] in the results on Linux:

? Select a branch: › li
❯   [object Object]
    [object Object]
    [object Object]
    [object Object]
    [object Object]

git-branch-select: 4.0.4
Node: 14.17.0
OS: macOS 12.0.1, Ubuntu 21.04.

When list shows up alphabetically, it would be nice to type the first letter of desired branch, to quick jump to the first entry starting by that letter.

It wouldn't help in all cases (e.g. when all the branches have the same prefix!) but would still be a delight in normal usage.

How about leveraging a (optional) command-line argument to prefilter the interactive list?

$ git branch-select
? Select branch (Use arrow keys)
> Assemblyman
  Amusingness
  Antitruster
  Antielitist
  Autoclaving

$ git branch-select pha
? Select branch (Use arrow keys)
> Elephant
  Pharmacy

Branches with / in their names cause it to crash with EISDIR as it's trying to read the commit hash from the ref file.

See #19 (comment) for details

From #5 by @Deleplace:

• include in list the branches origin/xxx that I've never checkouted yet

First of all, love this tool, have been using it for years and promoting it to other developers. Thanks for your hard work!

So, the list of branches is still rendered:

But selecting fails with the aforementioned error:

Just upgraded to 3.2.2 to see if that might do the trick, but no luck.

Here is some metadata that might help, LMK if there are any other diagnostics that would be useful:

Linux computer 4.15.0-91-generic #92-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
git version 2.26.2
node v14.1.0

edit:

Adding one more diagnostic based on the other issue:
