arkark / git-hist Goto Github PK

Probably everybody else has already dealt with this, but I work in an environment which lags behind the latest releases of things like Git by quite a ways.

Building git-hist 1.0.5 with cargo and Rust 1.71 is successful, but I receive this error message upon actually running git hist FILENAME:

$ git-hist FILENAME
Error: Faild to open a git repository for the current directory

Caused by:
    config value 'safe.directory' was not found; class=Config (7); code=NotFound (-3)

I believe this relates to a recently-discovered security vulnerability in Git, and a resulting workaround in git2-rs. I'll update the issue description with references as I do more research.

As a temporary workaround, you can define GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as described here. Edit: git2-rs really wants what it says it wants, which is to see safe.directory for the current directory in ~/.gitconfig. Here's how to add that:

$ git config --add --global safe.directory $PWD

Example

$  cargo run -- screenshots/screenshot_01.png

Then, the following error occurs (this error is an expected behavior):

thread 'main' panicked at 'Trying to access position outside the buffer: x=114, y=10, area=Rect { x: 0, y: 0, width: 114, height: 44 }', /home/ark/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/tui-0.14.0/src/buffer.rs:217:9

After the exit, the cursor on a terminal remains hidden.

• optional taller commit information box

  • option to scroll in the commit information

• optional automatically jump to first diff

  • remember the position of the file already visited

• jump to next/previous diff

• show how many changes between the versions

  • show new/deleted files
  • show if it's a merge commit

• show multiple files

  • in tabs or split
  • when changing revision, stay on same file but show tabs for the other modified files

Idea:

• Add options to truncate a history to the specified number of commits.
  • E.g. --max-history-depth
• Change the programming logic for evaluating history.

• --date-format
• Use whether authors or committers for names and dates
• --beyond-last-line
• --emphasize-diff
• --full-hash: Show full commit hashes rather than abbreviated commit hashes

Use .gitconfig as a fallback of missing command options.

Add --side-by-side option.

Show that it is a binary file for binary files, instead of showing the diff.

In Mac, an error occurs while installing because openssl command is not OpenSSL, but LibreSSL by default.
