gitlogui — a minimal GUI for git log

I don't need git log that often, in particular its specific pickaxe options. So whenever I do need them I have to dig into the manual page. What was -S or -G again? How do I see the diffs? How do I filter by commit message? Just to many options. To make this easier, I started writing glu, for git log ui.

To use it, just download the single file glu and run it. More details below.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• tkinter, which should usually be installed anyway with Python, I think?

Installation

• Just download glu, for example like

  curl -o glu https://codeberg.org/harald/gitlogui/raw/branch/main/glu
  

• Make the file executable or run it as

  python3 glu
