Any tool suggestion for git add -i

[ccoVeille]

Hi @MitMaro

I love your tool and I'm using it for more than a year I think.

You saved me hours of works. I love the fact you added support for automatic update-refs.

I'm curious, your tool provided an amazing solution for rebase interactive, do you have plan to work on git-interactive-add-tool ? Or equivalent.

I would like to know if there is something as good as your tool that could be used for adding files, or partial like the way git rebase -i does but as convenient as your tool.

I already know, love and use forgit (forgit::add) https://github.com/wfxr/forgit maintained by @wfxr but I'm curious if you know something else or plan to work on it.

Thank you for those kind comments! I'm happy that you found the tool useful and that it is saving your hours of work!

As much as I think this would be a great little tool and project, I don't think I have the time to take on another project.

It could be something that is integrated into this project that could take advantage of a lot of the code contained that has already been written, but at that point it's starting to be more like Magit. It would also require a significant rewrite of some of the internals.

A related idea I had toyed with in the past was to allow a set of diff hunks to be "yanked" from the current commit, and a new commit to be added with those hunks. This would essentially allow for splitting a commit during rebase. But this isn't really what you are looking. 😅

Thanks for your reply.

I understand that. Make it wider would bring more issues, I'm able to use forgit to do what I said, so it's ok.

I was curious and you replied my question.

I found https://github.com/andrewshadura/git-crecord

I'll have to test it and check but @andrewshadura might be what I was looking for.

I also found that tig supports such a mode
