It works by outputting a set of interesting +spots in the "quickfix" format, which editors like vim can use as a +queue of places to visit (this feature is usually used to jump to errors +produced by a compiler). For example, given a diff like this: + +------------------------------------ +diff --git a/foo.c b/foo.c +index a655540..5a59044 100644 +--- a/foo.c ++++ b/foo.c +@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ + int main(void) { +- printf("hello word!\n"); ++ printf("hello world!\n"); + } +----------------------------------- + +git-jump will feed this to the editor: + +----------------------------------- +foo.c:2: printf("hello word!\n"); +----------------------------------- + +Obviously this trivial case isn't that interesting; you could just open +`foo.c` yourself. But when you have many changes scattered across a +project, you can use the editor's support to "jump" from point to point. + +Git-jump can generate three types of interesting lists: + + 1. The beginning of any diff hunks. + + 2. The beginning of any merge conflict markers. + + 3. Any grep matches. + + +Using git-jump +-------------- + +To use it, just drop git-jump in your PATH, and then invoke it like +this: + +-------------------------------------------------- +# jump to changes not yet staged for commit +git jump diff + +# jump to changes that are staged for commit; you can give +# arbitrary diff options +git jump diff --cached + +# jump to merge conflicts +git jump merge + +# jump to all instances of foo_bar +git jump grep foo_bar + +# same as above, but case-insensitive; you can give +# arbitrary grep options +git jump grep -i foo_bar +-------------------------------------------------- + + +Related Programs +---------------- + +You can accomplish some of the same things with individual tools. For +example, you can use `git mergetool` to start vimdiff on each unmerged +file. `git jump merge` is for the vim-wielding luddite who just wants to +jump straight to the conflict text with no fanfare. + +As of git v1.7.2, `git grep` knows the `--open-files-in-pager` option, +which does something similar to `git jump grep`. However, it is limited +to positioning the cursor to the correct line in only the first file, +leaving you to locate subsequent hits in that file or other files using +the editor or pager. By contrast, git-jump provides the editor with a +complete list of files and line numbers for each match. + + +Limitations +----------- + +This scripts was written and tested with vim. Given that the quickfix +format is the same as what gcc produces, I expect emacs users have a +similar feature for iterating through the list, but I know nothing about +how to activate it. + +The shell snippets to generate the quickfix lines will almost certainly +choke on filenames with exotic characters (like newlines). diff --git a/contrib/git-jump/git-jump b/contrib/git-jump/git-jump new file mode 100755 index 0000000000..a33674e47a --- /dev/null +++ b/contrib/git-jump/git-jump @@ -0,0 +1,69 @@ +#!/bin/sh + +usage() { + cat <<\EOF +usage: git jump <mode> [<args>] + +Jump to interesting elements in an editor. +The <mode> parameter is one of: + +diff: elements are diff hunks.
