# Inflorescence

A cross-platform native GUI for [Pijul](https://pijul.org) aiming for a pleasant UX, heavily inspired by [Magit](https://magit.vc), built using [iced](https://iced.rs).

The core principles are:

- Quick and easy to navigate and to execute common actions
- Everything can be done with keyboard only (though mouse is also supported)
- Show a menu of possible commands to aid exploration
- Be responsive (use async)
- Logic separated from UI implemention to allow reuse to build e.g. TUI, Emacs or other integrations

Feature highlights:
- Watches over the active files (respecting `.ignore` filter) to always show up-to-date state
- Shows diffs in context (currenly only supported in changed files, recorded changes diffs don't yet have it)
- Can compare local against a remote repository
- Interactive recording change selection
  - You can keep editing files with some to-record selection (these are the toggles next to changed files and hunks)
  - Allows to toggle individual files and hunks
  - Note that the state of toggles is currently not persisted (selects all on app restart)
- Project finder with support for Git repo import
  - Automatically searches sub directories for Pijul and Git repositories
  - Previously managed projects are persisted (ordered by last closed timestamp)
- Can render images tracked in Pijul (currently only able to show the latest version)
- You can inspect logs and diffs of other channels without switching to them

This project is developed and tested on Linux, but it *should* work elsewhere too. Issue reports are welcome!
