a rust rewrite of the original meower

installation

prerequisites:

• cargo installed (from here)

clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/ellipticobj/meower-rs && cd meower-rs

install using cargo

cargo install --path .

make sure ~/.cargo is on your path!

usage

run meow -h for the full flag list. quick reference:

• meow "commit message" — stage everything, commit, and push in one go
• meow -a file1 file2 "message" — stage only the specified files
• meow -s / -c / -p — run only the stage / commit / push step
• meow -u <branch> "message" — sets upstream on the push
• meow -f — push with --force-with-lease; -ff escalates to --force
• meow -d ... — dry run: print the git commands without executing them
• meow -v — verbose debug output (repeat for more, up to -vvv)
• meow -E — exit immediately on any pipeline error (default is best-effort)
• meow --add-remote <url> / --remove-remote — experimental origin management

todo

• add spinners for long-running git operations
• wire up --run for arbitrary git command passthrough
• allow configurable remote name (currently hardcoded to origin)
• harden formatoptionsline — the short-flag parser is fragile
• decide the fate of _fatalerror (either use it or delete it)

done

• fix the help flag
• proper output
• custom clap error output
• custom --version styling
• fix commit output printing
• add flags for commit message
• custom commit command output
• add flags for setting upstream
• add flags for staging certain files
• add force and force with lease flags
• add functions to print normal output, logs, errors, etc
• exit gracefully instead of panicking when the command returns an error
• add the basic features (--push, --add, --commit, --stage)
• fix push function output (parsed into a compact summary)
• add experimental remote add/remove
