The project seems to be very clever and useful. But to have more robust control over the panes it would be nice to be able to scroll the content by one page or to the very beginning or the very end of the diff.

This resolves: https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/git-tui/issues/10

Apparently, cmake on Windows do honor its own "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE". We need to use "--config Release" to build in release mode.

[why] The background in the main area is hardcoded to dark grey (30,30,30). This breaks the usability for people who have a light theme (i.e. black or dark text on light background).

[how] One solution would be to also change the foreground color, but that will for sure irritate people who use 'solarized' or other themes.

Imho it would be best not to tinker with the background colors unless at least light and dark is selectable as option (and ideally autoselect depending on the used terminal's current background (vim for example does that, adapt the color scheme to the current user selected background in the terminal).

So the solution implemented here is to completely drop the change in background color.

Screenshots

Here two sets of screenshots. tilix is used in a light theme, while terminal is set up for a dark theme.

Before PR

Background color in both terminals is the same, albeit tilix uses normally white and has black text while terminal uses black background and white text.

After PR

Background color not touched anymore. This means it's not dark-gray anymore but the default background color, that matches the used default foreground color.

[why] The column headers for 'files' and 'commits' are swapped.

This has been introduced with commit 2c8d56e Use resizable split

[how] Just change the string literals.

I guess the problem is here

https://github.com/ArthurSonzogni/git-tui/blob/977fd4c95b029373cb47b061dced4a416c10309f/.github/workflows/build.yaml#L104-L105

Multi-configuration generators (like Visual Studio, which I guess would be the default for Windows), don't really recognize the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release keyword, instead you need to specify during the build argument cmake --build . --target package --config Release. By default, the Debug configuration will be build.

Right now left and right arrows switch between views.

The idea is to switch the content with tab key and use arrows to scroll the content of the view. I.e.: the diff area if the content is too long or the file explorer view (apart from resizing the pane using the mouse).

I was able to build from source (using make and cmake installed with brew), but invoking the commands git-tui log and git-tui diff does nothing. The commands were issued within an active repo and the plain git commands git log and git diff do show correct output.

Any ideas? It would be cool to use the diff feature instead of built-in git diff.
