git-fuzzy VS base16-shell

Bonus points if you have something you're currently working on.

I found lazygit after building something of my own thay solves some of these problems for me - git-fuzzy [0].

I'd like to share some of my thoughts about the comparison.

lazygit is a TUI for git which can behave in a standalone fashion. It's also designed to be quick and easy to use to perform quite advanced actions but ones that a seasoned git user may really want when working with git history. Since I'm already a seasoned git user the main feature I like about lazygit is the ability to surgically work with patches.

All that said, a majority of my workflow is tightly bound to git-fuzzy. I use its CLI composability quite heavily in combination with aliases and functions - git-fuzzy excels in this particular way (`git fuzzy log $(git fuzzy branch)` which I invoke using `gl $(gb)` by way of aliases). git-fuzzy is better for working with git-log or git-reflog and interactively searching them.

I personally quite like what I made (for myself), though I wish there was a world where I could quickly and easily mash both of these projects together.

I'm slightly embarrassed that in terms of building personally relevant things, my proudest (digital) work is always shell scripts I use daily. Most of my personal projects are non-technical meat-space things like building with wood and the like. Here's some that I've open-sourced:

- A git interface using fzf that works pretty nicely and is very composable. https://github.com/bigH/git-fuzzy

- An interactive evaluator, perfect for interactive `sed`, `grep`, `jq`, etc. If properly configured, it'll keep history per command or using whatever key you give it. I find myself using it often with `jq`. https://github.com/bigH/interactively

There are many other shell functions/scripts that are interesting from my `dotfiles`. Particularly interesting snippets for anyone who wants them:

- A recursize `which` that follows symlinks and stops at a real file. https://github.com/bigH/dotfiles/blob/3d48792b4e910d2fc82504...

- A `watch` alternative that runs in the current shell. https://github.com/bigH/dotfiles/blob/3d48792b4e910d2fc82504...

git-fuzzy : ⌛ - A CLI interface to git that relies heavily on fzf.

I just found Nightfox and switched over to it. I liked it so much I contributed a base16 template and use it with base16-shell.

My suggestion is to use is from here because you can change the theme on the fly: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell

Okay, so I've found the files that change the colors for the terminals ($HOME/.config/openbox/scripts/[name of style]) and I can add some bash to include LXTerminal, but I don't think I will. Instead of converting all the color codes into RBG, I am going to find Base16 equivalents for each theme and add that to the style scripts. Base16 has a lot of choices, works via the shell (so on all terms), and also allows for instant changes.

from base16-tomorrow-night first column is the original value, third column is the tomorrow theme value

I'm a huge fan of the base16 color schemes - not for their appearance (though most look great), but for their ease of integration within the shell and vim. Just clone the repos below, drop a few lines in your shellrc/vimrc, then use a single bash command to change the scheme in both. No mucking more mucking with Xresources.

base16 🥇 - Adds script to allow you to change your shell's default ANSI colors but most importantly, colors 17 to 21 of your shell's 256 colorspace (if supported by your terminal). This script makes it possible to honor the original bright colors of your shell (e.g. bright green is still green and so on) while providing additional base16 colors to applications such as Vim.

I personally use the base16 shell (with the vim plugin that comes with it) https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell

I want to have a consistent theme between my terminal and vim so I use Base16 Shell and Base16 Vim. But whenever I open vim without typing it in the command line, ie through dolphin or ranger or vifm the theme gets lost and turns into the blue mess.

I'll be honest, I've been using both base16 styling for my shell, but also Vim themes. The mixture seems less than ideal.
