GRV - Git Repository Viewer Build Status

GRV is a terminal based interface for viewing Git repositories. It allows refs, commits and diffs to be viewed, searched and filtered. The behaviour and style can be customised through configuration. A query language can be used to filter refs and commits, see the Documentation section for more information.

Install

Note: grv is currently an alias used by oh-my-zsh. Add unalias grv to the end of your .zshrc to invoke GRV.

Linux

Static binaries are available for Linux. For example, to use the amd64 binary run the following steps:

wget -O grv https://github.com/rgburke/grv/releases/download/v0.3.2/grv_v0.3.2_linux64
chmod +x ./grv
./grv -repoFilePath /path/to/repo

Mac

GRV is available in homebrew and can be installed with:

brew install grv

FreeBSD

GRV can be installed as a binary package

pkg install grv

or from ports

cd /usr/ports/devel/grv && make install clean

Build instructions

Go version 1.8 or later is required. GRV depends on the following libraries:

Building GRV on OSX requires homebrew, and for readline, pkg-config, and cmake to be installed using homebrew:

brew install readline pkg-config cmake

To install GRV run:

go get -d github.com/rgburke/grv/cmd/grv
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/rgburke/grv
make install

To install grv with an alternative binary name change the last step to:

make install BINARY=NewBinaryName

where NewBinaryName is the alternative name to use instead.

The steps above will install GRV to $GOPATH/bin. A static libgit2 will be built and included in GRV when built this way. Alternatively if libgit2 version 0.27 is installed on your system GRV can be built normally:

go install ./cmd/grv
