Why use ugit?

• You accidentally ran a git command you wish to 'undo'.
• You want to save time by not searching for how to undo ...
• Your focus is on the problems at hand and not on Git (avoid context switching)

Motivations behind writing ugit 🙇‍♂️️

What's in the box?

ugit/git-undo supports undoing the following operations, some are a WIP. If you know of any other operations that can be undone and are not in the list, make sure to raise an issue or make a quick PR 💛️

• Undo git commit
• Undo git add
• Undo git push
• Undo git branch -D (branch delete)
• Undo git pull
• Undo git reset
• Undo git tag -d (tag delete)
• Undo git stash apply
• Undo git stash pop/drop/clear
• Undo accidental file delete (Restore a deleted file after a commit)
• Undo (Restore) a file to a previous version
• Undo git merge
• Undo git cherry-pick
• Undo git tag
• Undo git rebase
• Undo git worktree remove (recover deleted work-tree)

Contribute to the project by helping me with the above-mentioned tasks.

Installation

Try ugit via Docker:

docker pull bhupeshimself/ugit
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app bhupeshimself/ugit

Prerequisites

ugit dependencies:

• Bash >= 4.x.x
• Git >= 2.23.0
• fzf >= 0.21.0 - Installation guide
• GNU utils like awk, grep, tput etc

Linux

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit/master/install)"

Arch Linux users can install ugit via AUR.

Mac

brew install ugit

Windows

To use ugit on Windows you need to install:

1. Git Bash
   Git bash comes with git (if you have installed it on your machine then no need). To install git (preferably with scoop):

   scoop install git
   

2. FZF

   scoop install fzf
   

   Alternatively, with Chocolatey:

   choco install fzf
   

3. To use bash in terminal change your directory to **git\2.35.3.windows.1\bin\bash** accordingly.

4. Then either clone the repo,

   git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit.git

   or get it using curl:

   sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit/master/install)"

Fig

Fig adds apps, shortcuts, and autocomplete to your existing terminal.

Install ugit in just one click.

ZSH Frameworks

Zgenom

If you're using Zgenom:

1. Add zgenom load Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc along with your other zgenom load commands.
2. zgenom reset && zgenom save

Antigen

If you're using Antigen:

1. Add antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit to your .zshrc where you've listed your other plugins.
2. Close and reopen your Terminal/iTerm window to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can run antigen bundle Bhupesh-V/ugit in a running shell to have antigen load the new plugin.

Oh-My-ZSH

If you're using oh-my-zsh:

1. Clone the repository into a new ugit directory in oh-my-zsh's plugin folder:

   git clone https://github.com/Bhupesh-V/ugit.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/ugit

2. Edit your ~/.zshrc and add ugit – same as clone directory – to the list of plugins to enable:

   plugins=( ... ugit )

3. Then, restart your terminal application to refresh context and use the plugin. Alternatively, you can source your current shell configuration:

   source ~/.zshrc

Please read ⚠️

Git comes with a garbage collector (in case you didn't know) therefore undoing some commands will become impossible if the entries are deleted from the reflog. One way to prevent this is to increase default time limits before the reflog entries expire.

Add these configurations in your global .gitconfig file:

[gc]
    # default 90 days
    reflogExpire = 200

Used to set how long records in a branch reflog should be preserved.

[gc]
    # default 30 days
    reflogExpireUnreachable = 90

Used to set how long inaccessible reflog records should be preserved.
