Giterm brings information about the current status of your Git working copy in real-time. It shows in a single view:

• local branches, and which branch you’re currently on
• remote branches, and which branch the current local branch is tracking
• commit history, and which commit you are currently working from
• current changes
• a diff view of the selected file in the changes list

Giterm only shows Git information. It does not support git actions like commit checkout, branch switching, staging or committing.

Every change to the working copy (file edition/move or any Git command) refreshes the GUI instantly. You can work as usual, and keep a terminal open with giterm to get visual feedback on your actions.

cd path/to/git/working/copy
giterm

pip install giterm

If you don’t have pip installed yet:

curl -s https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python
pip install giterm

Giterm needs the git executable to be installed and available in the PATH of your system. Others dependencies should be automatically handled by pip.

Giterm uses subprocesses to call Git shell-based commands, and parses their outputs to bring the relevant information to the user interface.

It also uses a watchdog to listen file changes in the current working directory.
