Eggbun Documentation

Using Git

Because Eggbun is file-system based when it detects a .git folder it shows it in the sidebar's filetree. You can expand it to access the git hooks folder and edit those files or click on the .git folder to launch a git GUI.

To start the git GUI is quite simple. It currently:

  • shows the most recent 20 commits and which files were added, changed, and deleted
  • you can click on any file change to see a text diff
  • it auto-stages any changes when loading
  • you can write a commit message and commit
  • safe restore feature that restores a previous commit as a new commit without losing any data

We're still actively working on the git GUI. Soon you'll be able to do a lot more locally with git, customize your git email for different projects, integrate with GitHub and browse, clone, pull, push and everything else you're used to.

You don't need to have installed git on your system, Eggbun ships with its own git integration so you can just download Eggbun and get going.
