Welcome to OSTree-TUI. This project provides a more user friendly approach to a OSTree interface. It's purpose is to assist developers when using the command line to interact with OSTree (not to replace the command line interface completely).

Usage & Features

• Navigate all commits on all branches on a git-like commit tree
• View all details to the selected commit you would also get through an ostree show
• Filter branches, if the screen gets too buzy for you
• Drag-and-drop or use Alt+P / Alt+D to...
  • ...Promote commits
  • ...Delete commits

To start the OSTree-TUI, simply type ostree-tui <repo_path> (replace <repo_path> with the path to the desired repository), or ostree-tui --help to see its options. Navigating the application is possible with the arrow keys, or mouse input. Special actions are described in the bottom-bar.

Upcoming features can be viewed in the issues!
