git-interactive-rebase-tool VS handWavey

View on GitHub

I recently released a major overhaul of a personal project I've been working on and using for about four years. I posted this on HN many years ago, but it didn't receive much traction at the time and I want to know what everyone thinks!

The tool is a sequence editor for those who do interactive rebases with Git. It allows for easy editing of the rebase sequence/todo file. Recently, I added support for showing a commit diff as well as much improved better cross-platform support. The tool is highly configurable, with hopefully reasonable defaults. I plan to continue adding new features (merge rebases being next on the list) in the future.

Just putting this utility out there: https://github.com/MitMaro/git-interactive-rebase-tool it works amazingly well and can really improve the interactive rebasing experience!

Shameless self plug: handWavey is a tool that I wrote to control your computer using a leap motion controller. I've put a lot of time into making it practical for real world desktop usage as well as some underserved accessibility use-cases, and I absolutely love it. And I still have a lot more that I want to do with it. You can see handWavey in action here.

Have you played with any leapmotion based solutions? I wrote handWavey which gives you the ability to control the mouse and keyboard by moving your hands like in minority report. There's also a foot gestureLayout, which is highly experimental, and not ready for daily use, but might give you ideas.

I'm really interested in this as well. I think I'm missing a lot of opportunities. Like a few months ago, I released handWavey, which I think is fricken cool I posted it in a small number of places, and then just continued to work on it quietly.

hands/arms don't work? Try the foot gestureLayout. (This layout is a proof-of-concept, and is highly experimental. I don't recommend it, for now, but it shows what can be done if there is interest from people who would benefit from it.)

The important thing is that the gestures are completely configurable. And everything assumption/"that seems right" is configurable. I've gone into more detail about this in the main video. I've also provided some examples and documentation. You'll see that I've even made a gestureLayout for operating it entirely with your feet. I don't recommend it (it needs much more development, which could happen if there is interest), but it works. With that gestureLayout, I've make the left click happen by simply moving your primary foot through to the "action zone". But you can add your secondary foot to perform a right click, middle click, or scroll.
