Check it out, before you checkout.

Check It Out lets you interactively see and choose what branch you want to check out without the hassle of trying to type out a long or confusing branch name. Checking out branches just got even simpler!

Requirements

Node >= v16 - note: developed and tested on Node 16 and up. There isn't a guarantee this will work on earlier versions.

Git - Required for core features

Compatibility

Check It Out currently has known issues with Windows. Some users have reported it working while others have reported that it does not. It is built and tested mostly in an Arch Linux environment with some user testing on MacOS and other Linux distributions. We're currently looking for help figuring out why Check It Out is unstable on Windows. See CIO-128

Installation

We're on NPM!

npm install -g check-it-out

Installing from source

Fork or clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/jwu910/check-it-out.git

Navigate to your repository directory and run

npm install

Create a symbolic link to the entry point

In the repository directory run:

npm link

Local development

From your repository directory run

npm run build

To start the application you can run

node dist/index.js

or

npm start

If you want to test your local build in other repositories, you can use npm link which will let you run your local build files with the cio or checkit aliases.

Usage

To get started, just run:

checkit

or

cio
