Git interactive is a set of small commands that aim at giving a few git commands interactive abilities with the help of the excellent fzf project, all that without moving out of your terminal.

2 git commands are covered:

• git checkout

  

• git branch --delete

  

The commands defined in this project should work on all POSIX-compliant shell, including bash and zsh.

Checkout git-fuzzy for a more complete interactive git experience in your terminal.

Dependencies

The only dependency is fzf, which is available on most platforms.
Refer to their GitHub to have installation instructions.

⚠ This script will not work if dependencies are missing.

Installation

• Clone or download this repository
• Add the following lines to your .bashrc (if you are using bash) or .zshrc (if you are using zsh):

    source <PATH_TO_CLONED_REPO>/git-checkout-interactive.sh
    source <PATH_TO_CLONED_REPO>/git-delete-branch-interactive.sh

  If you only want to have the “checkout” commands, only add the first line; if you only want the “delete” ones, only add the second.
• Close and reopen your terminal (or run source .bashrc or source .zshrc)
