# git-tui
A single-file terminal UI for common Git workflows.
`git-tui` gives you a keyboard-driven interface for staging, committing, syncing, and bootstrapping repositories without leaving the terminal.

## Highlights
- Single-file executable (`git-tui`)
- Curses-based terminal UI
- Stage all or select individual files
- Commit with message prompt
- Push, pull (rebase), fetch, status
- Non-repo bootstrap flow:
- Initialize local repository
- Optionally create and publish a new remote repository
- Supports GitHub and Gitea
- Existing local repo without remote:
- Offers connection to an existing GitHub or Gitea remote repository
- Can continue without remote setup if preferred
## Requirements
- Linux or Unix-like terminal with curses support
- Python 3
- Git
- GitHub CLI `gh` only if you choose GitHub publish flow
- Gitea personal access token only if you choose Gitea publish flow
## Installation
```bash
chmod +x git-tui
sudo install -m 755 git-tui /usr/local/bin/gtui
```
## Quick Start
Run from any project directory:
```bash
gtui
```
If the directory is not a Git repository, `git-tui` offers:
- Initialize repository only
- Initialize and publish to a new remote repository
If the directory is already a Git repository but has no remote configured, `git-tui` offers:
- Connect to an existing remote repository
- Continue without remote
## Gitea Setup
For Gitea publish flow, you can provide values interactively in the TUI or pre-set environment variables:
```bash
export GITEA_URL="https://git.example.com"
export GITEA_OWNER="your-user-or-org"
export GITEA_TOKEN="your-token"
```
Supported variable names:
- `GITEA_URL` or `GITEA_BASE_URL`
- `GITEA_OWNER`
- `GITEA_TOKEN` or `GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN`
Token handling behavior:
- Token is read from environment when present
- Otherwise token is requested in the TUI
- Token is not persisted by `git-tui`
## Keybindings
- Main menu:
- `Up/Down` or `j/k` move
- `Enter` run action
- `q` or `Esc` quit
- File picker:
- `Space` toggle
- `a` toggle all
- `Enter` confirm
- `q` or `Esc` cancel
