git-fuzzy VS digraph

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.

My own purpose in using it is to be able to get back to any link that I've read or have potentially wanted to read at a later point in time.

I have the same habit and wrote a web app to catalog the links I come across:

https://digraph.app/

This was kind of the idea behind a side project I started a few years ago:

I definitely think crowd-sourcing and a well-conceived reputation management system that can influence results are good next areas for exploration.

> I think building search vertical that are hand-curated would be very interesting to see.

That was my inspiration behind a side project I made a few years ago — a decentralized, hand curated "search engine" [0]. Never got beyond the side project stage. But I see promise in this in the future. Eventually we'll figure out that human and moderated curation is better than the best machine learning.
