GitExtensions VS mpv

I agree that git is almost asking you to juggle commits.

My preference is to use temporary branches and cherry-picking instead of stashing; I mostly use a gui* to work with git so it is easy to select the two or three commits to cherry-picking or see visually if an interactive rebase would work.

I use Git Extensions myself as I find the git interface very straight forward, however they still have this fucking insane and frustrating issue: In the mergetool "Theirs" and "Mine" are swapped

Git Extensions is a more-intuitive way to manage your Git repositories in Windows. Its standalone interface serves as an effective, CLI-free means to control Git. Preferred by namtab00, because "SourceTree hides and shortcuts too much git functionality."

I presume this is where one goes to make a feature request? https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues

If you're on Windows, I'd start with installing official Git. It comes with a Git Bash CLI and what not. There are also third party apps like GitExtensions and TortoiseGit if you want more UI/shell integration.

Everyone's going to downvote this, but I prefer the GUI over the command-line. I use http://gitextensions.github.io/

https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/releases/tag/v2.51.05 - nice little ui for working with git. unfortunately, v2.51.05 is the last version that I can confirm works under mono (it was the last 2.x version and they completely rewrote the code from scratch in the 3.x series. My understanding was that it lost Linux compatibility at that point).

https://mpv.io/ has yt-dlp support, if yt-dlp is installed you just need to throw the URL at it and it plays the video (without download).

I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Author of ripgrep here.

Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?

Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.

Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.

Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.

ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:

* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)

* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.

Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
