## About

Interactively switch branches or fuzzy search for that forgotten branch name.

All powered by the speed ⚡️ of rust 🦀.

## Installation

If you have [Rust installed](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) (using the recommended rustup installation method) then you can install the binary from the [crate](https://crates.io/crates/git-smart-checkout) using cargo:

```sh
cargo install git-smart-checkout
```

For Homebrew users, you can install the binary using the following command:

```sh
brew tap craciuncezar/tap
brew install git-smart-checkout
```

You can also install the binary directly from GitHub Releases

```sh
curl -sSL https://github.com/craciuncezar/git-smart-checkout/releases/download/v0.1.0/git-smart-checkout -o /usr/local/bin/git-smart-checkout && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-smart-checkout
```

## Usage

Start by running:

```sh
git smart-checkout
```

Once the interactive window is visible you can navigate with keyboard arrows `↑` or `↓` and select the git branch you are looking for by pressing `Enter`. If you know the name of the branch you can start typing to search for that particular branch, the search is using a fuzzy algorithm so you don't need to match the exact name of the branch it will also match partial terms.

### Git alias

To save typing time you can use a regular git alias for `git smart-checkout`. The following command will add the alias `git sc` to your git config, however feel free to use whatever works best for you:

```sh
git config --global alias.sc smart-checkout
```
