WDX_GitCommander

Git plugin for Total Commander! (WDX, that means column information and mouseover hints over a repository or a file in repository.)

Custom column and hint

Dear guys! This project is aimed to try to compile libgit2 and making a plugin for Total Commander. It should work without git back-end and without the git tools in the path (that's why I compiled libgit2 anyway).

To use the plugin - download the released archive and set it up in Total Commander. (It should be sufficient just to open the zip in Total Commander, for everything else there is http://totalcmd.net/plugring/tc_plugman.html)

The easiest way to use is to create your own columns, I suggest just replacing the original Size column with the column "SizeAndBranch". Because that will show the branch instead of <DIR> for directories (what I personally wanted while creating the plugin).

For like GitHub functionality in Total Commander, there is the possibility to create plugin-defined hints in Total Commander. Just go to Configuration->Display and down there on the setting page tick some boxes with "hint texts" to make visible the small button with "+". Then it just remains to add a rule for all files "*" with this formatting:

Option a) Last commit info

[=gitcmd.Branch] ([=gitcmd.CommitAge]) [=gitcmd.FirstRemoteUrl]\n[=gitcmd.CommitMessage]\n[=gitcmd.CommitAuthor] [=gitcmd.CommitMail] [=gitcmd.CommitDate.D.M.Y h:m:s]

Option b) Last commit affecting given file (or last commit info for folders)

[=gitcmd.Branch] [=gitcmd.FirstRemoteUrl]\n[=gitcmd.FallIsLast] [=gitcmd.FallAge]\n[=gitcmd.FallMessage]\n[=gitcmd.FallAuthor] [=gitcmd.FallMail] [=gitcmd.FallDate.D.M.Y h:m:s]\n[=gitcmd.GeneralStatus]

Option c) Full description consisting of branch and first remote URL for folders and additional commit info for files

[="Git: "gitcmd.FullDescription]

In the future I would like to make it with better installators and so. If you love Total Commander, feel free to do it faster than me.

Martin.
