# gadd Command-line utility for staging changes to Git (alternative to git-add's interactive mode). Written in Rust, using [git2-rs](https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs) to interact with Git, and [ratatui](https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) for the terminal UI. ## Screenshots The Git staging area in `gadd`:  ## Installation ### Through Cargo (Rust package manager) - Run `cargo install gadd` - You should now be able to type `gadd` inside a Git repo in the terminal to manage your changes! ### Manually - Go to the [Releases page](https://github.com/hermannm/gadd/releases) - Download the appropriate binary for your OS and architecture under Assets - On Linux/MacOS: Save the file as `gadd` - On Windows: Save the file as `gadd.exe` - Update your `PATH` environment variable to include the folder where you saved `gadd` - On Linux/MacOS: - Using zsh: `echo 'export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}' >> ~/.zshrc` - Using Bash: `echo 'export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}' >> ~/.bashrc` - These examples assume you saved `gadd` in `${HOME}/bin` - replace it with your own path if you saved it somewhere else - On Windows: - Use the Windows search bar to search for "Edit environment variables", and open the suggested control panel - Under "User variables for \[user\]", find the one called "Path", and click "Edit..." - Click "New", and enter the path to the folder where you saved `gadd.exe` - Restart your terminal - You should now be able to type `gadd` inside a Git repo in the terminal to manage your changes! ## Credits - Git logo adapted from [Jason Long](https://git-scm.com/downloads/logos) (licensed under [CC BY 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/))
