Fuzzy Finder for Git Commands

The real time fuzzy finder tool fzf is a good tool to perform searches for files as well as filtering output from other command line tools. This tool complements Git really well due to the fact git has a master-detail workflow view. When you are looking at a commit log (master), you want to look at the file changes (details) for that commit.

As a complete git viewing experience, forgit, is able to provide the split view interface when interacting with the git subcommands (diff, branch, stash, etc.).

Forgit can be used in the namespace format, or the shorthand alias form can be used. The following commands are for using git's show with forgit.

forgit::stash::show

or

gss
