Thanks, these functions are great! I had to add "zle reset-prompt" though in order to not mess up the prompt when using zsh.
eval "fzf-g$c-widget() { zle reset-prompt; LBUFFER+=$(g$c | join-lines) } "

@johnor could you please share your .vimrc, I'm having issues setting this up

Any idea how i apply the key-bindings in ZSH?

@faruzzy These functions are not for vim, they are for bash or zsh. If you want to browse the git history from vim you should take a look at fzf.vim (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim) and :Commits.
@mikejakobsen I have copied the contents of key-binding.zsh and functions.sh to a new file. You can then just source that file in your .zshrc to get it working. Adding everything to your .zshrc should also work :)

@johnor, thanks for the hint about zle reset-prompt, but I ended up having to do something a little more complicated to get it working. See my fork.

@junegunn, the gh() function wasn't working for me as the final grep invocation always failed to find the hash. Removing the escapes from the braces fixed it. Perhaps this is due to different versions of grep? I'm on Linux.

@parkercoates Maybe. FYI, the command works for me both on macOS and Linux.

I updated bind-git-helper following your suggestion. Thanks.

@junegunn, my bad. I just realised that I had grep aliased to grep --color=auto --perl-regexp, which I see now was a really bad idea. Sorry for the noise.

And thanks for incorporating my bind-git-helper change.

Thank you @junegunn, I am a big fan of your work!

Is join-lines really required? I'm unsure about why it is there and it seems to work fine without it.

@parkercoates, I can't seem to be able to get the keybindings to work for the fzf-g$c-widget. Can you try out the key-binding.zsh and let me know if it works for you?

I'm having trouble making this work when on tmux. :( It works just fine on a normal session, but as soon as I am on TMUX, the bindings don't work (if I call the functions directly from the prompt, it works). Any idea what I must do to solve this?

My tmux has no customization yet.

---

Just realized what was the problem: Basically, all my bindings worked, except for Control-gControl-b. Turns out Control-gControl-b was invoking my tmux <prefix>, thus, rendering the binding useless.

I've changed my prefix to Control-a and everything is working as expected.

For Fish shell users: https://gist.github.com/aluxian/9c6f97557b7971c32fdff2f2b1da8209

no one feeling like creating a repository with these gems ?
There seems to be some bugs with it and collaborative work could help polish these. I am no shell expert so not too enthusiastic about hosting it (yet).

I've started one here https://github.com/teto/fzf-gems . Will try to beef up the readme

Very nice! Any objection to replacing fzf with fzf-tmux in fzf-down?

I had an issue getting gh to work, changing grep to command grep fixed the issue

thanks for scripts

One of the things that I find useful with these helpers is the ability to do a diff of two hash key.
You don't know the hashes by heart so you type: git diff <C-g><C-h> and you can select the hashes you want to diff. But I do have issues if I have the following entry in my inputrc: set editing-mode vi and set keymap vi-command.
The behavior becomes different, instead of copying the hashes right on the line I was on originally such as the result is git diff <hash1> <hash2> it instead pastes the hashes above the line I was on. Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
Thanks for the help

This is bloody amazing! In my case, the functions weren't working, and as it turns out it was because these conflicted with some existing function somewhere. So, I just prefixed all of your functions with fn- (e.g. fn-gt rather than gt) and now all seem to work beautifully.

I had some problems with gb and gr, due to ambiguity between names of branches, remotes, and paths. Here are the revised functions:

gb() {
  is_in_git_repo || return
  git branch -a --color=always | grep -v '/HEAD\s' | sort |
  fzf-down --ansi --multi --tac --preview-window right:70% \
    --preview 'git log --oneline --graph --date=short --pretty="format:%C(auto)%cd %h%d %s" $(sed s/^..// <<< {} | cut -d" " -f1) -- | head -'$LINES |
  sed 's/^..//' | cut -d' ' -f1 |
  sed 's#^remotes/##'
}

gr() {
  is_in_git_repo || return
  git remote -v | awk '{print $1 "\t" $2}' | uniq |
  fzf-down --tac \
    --preview 'git log --oneline --graph --date=short --pretty="format:%C(auto)%cd %h%d %s" --remotes={1} | head -200' |
  cut -d$'\t' -f1
}

Just solved another problem due to the fact that grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" will not only match the Git hashes, but also a string like "feedback". gh is fixed as follows:

gh() {
  is_in_git_repo || return
  git log --date=short --format="%C(green)%C(bold)%cd %C(auto)%h%d %s (%an)" --graph --color=always |
  fzf-down --ansi --no-sort --reverse --multi --bind 'ctrl-s:toggle-sort' \
    --header 'Press CTRL-S to toggle sort' \
    --preview 'grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" <<< {} | head -1 | xargs git show --color=always | head -'$LINES |
  grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" | head -1
}

for anyone who has oh-my-zsh there are already some alias so the solution is to add a prefix to the functions and modify the helper

fzf_gf() {
...
}

fzf_gb() {
...
}

fzf_gt() {
...
}

fzf_gh() {
...
}

fzf_gr() {
...
}

bind-git-helper() {
  local c
  for c in $@; do
    eval "fzf-g$c-widget() { local result=\$(fzf_g$c | join-lines); zle reset-prompt; LBUFFER+=\$result }"
    eval "zle -N fzf-g$c-widget"
    eval "bindkey '^g^$c' fzf-g$c-widget"
  done
}

Thanks for the work. There's a tiny issue that I met. When started with --preview option, it's really slow to scroll the preview pane with mouse. If there're many lines there, it'll take a long time. Any ideas to scroll faster ?

I can't get this working with pure prompt https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure

Always getting this:

prompt_pure_async_callback:11: bad set of key/value pairs for associative array

nvm, its conflict with existing gf function. I just prefixed it

I am using git bash on Windows and I am getting error like << was unexpected at this time. on those function using <<< {}, any thoughts?

f_gh() {                                                                                                                  
  is_in_git_repo || return                                                                                                
  git log --date=short --format="%C(green)%C(bold)%cd %C(auto)%h%d %s (%an)" --graph --color=always |                     
  fzf-down --ansi --no-sort --reverse --multi --bind 'ctrl-s:toggle-sort' \                                               
    --header 'Press CTRL-S to toggle sort' \                                                                              
    --preview 'grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" <<< {} | xargs git show --color=always | head -'$LINES | grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" 
}                                                                                                                         

but actually below script works:

huangjoh@SHAPC0N4NVD MINGW64 /m/x-hub/cosv2/flask-app (test-branch-1)
$ grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" <<< "* 2019-01-04 2884e18"
2884e18

I've to change the function to use --preview 'echo {} | grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" | xargs git show --color=always | head -'$LINES | grep -o "[a-f0-9]\{7,\}" and it works fine.

Great tool!

hmmm. I can't seem to get bindings of the form ^G^$c to work. if i bind the widget directly to a single keypress (bindkey '^B' fzf-gb-widget) it works as expected, but with multi-key bindings, I get nothing.

ZSH in vi-mode

Do you have ^G already bound to something else? I had to remove a binding for my setup (with bindkey -r "^G") before I could use the the ^G prefix.

That was it! Also in this process, I've discovered that bindkey "<binding>" will print the existing functionality of the key. ^G in my case was list-expand

Ah, cool. It looks like gists won't let me add a "👍" to comments :). Yep, and bindkey w/out any arguments will list EVERY bindings.

This is beyond awesome. Thank you for making my console perfect with this tools.

the main problem with me was the function names.

Maybe june could update his gist to rename all functions fzf_gr or something similar

i also couldnt use Ctl-G Ctrl-H because of my tmux/vim bindings on Ctrl-H which would change pane so I had to rebrand that to Ctrl-M for comMits or maybe Ctrl-G Ctrl-G (since the hash is the building block of git after all it also makes some sense)

When I put any of these bindings into my ~/.inputrc I lose the ability to enter b into my terminal and iTerm2. When I enter b it instead sends a " character and makes the invalid input sound (displays the bell as well in iTerm). I'm not seeing anything under bind -P that catches my eye, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I have no custom bindings I know of, my bash version is 5.0.11(1)-release and I'm on MacOS.

i never used inputrc so i have no idea what that is.
have you tried doing the suggestions recommended above?
add a fzf_ prefix to all functions . make sure you have everything correctly copy pasted etc.
also bonus points for you: try kitty terminal. iterm2 is just so so slow

Thanks for the response - I will try and kitty when I get some time.
I actually got the key-bindings working using a bash line editor replacement, ble.sh, that I use for fish-like autosuggestions and more. Here's a note about getting these bindings to work.
