Simple and handy tool to easily recall what you've done
git-recall
is a simple tool that allows you to easily go through your commits and
check what you or other contributors in your team did. It doesn't aim to be a replacement for the
git log
command, but just to be a convenient way to recall what you've done from your terminal.
$ git recall [-a <author name>]
[-d <days-ago>]
[-b <branch name>]
[-p <paths>]
[-f]
[-h]
[-v]
-a
- Restrict search for a specific user (use -a "all" for all users)-d
- Display commits for the last n days-b
- Specify branch to display commits from-p
- Specify path/s or file/s to display commits from-f
- Fetch the latest changes-h
- Show help screen-v
- Show version
Once the commits are displayed, you can use either the arrow keys
or j/k
to switch between commits,
press TAB
or e
to expand/reduce
the commit's diff or q
to quit.
when the number of lines between the commits list and a commit's diff is higher than the current terminal session's number of lines,
the result will be displayed using the less
program which will open the diff in a separate screen.
You can still use either TAB
or q
to return to the commits list.
$ git recall
# By default (without options), the command will display commits from yesterday and
# for the current user.
$ git recall -d 5 -a "Doge"
# The command will show all Doge's commits from 5 days ago.
$ git recall -d 5 -a "all"
# The command will show commits of all contributors from 5 days ago.
$ git recall -f
# Fetch commits beforehand.
