The original script became git-recent-og after the 2.0 rewrite. The 2.0 line, released in 2025 according to the changelog, added an fzf-based interactive UI for browsing branches, viewing branch-specific commits, inspecting a diff against main, and checking out the selected branch. ### Adoptionsgeschichte git-recent spread as a small personal-workflow utility through npm and Homebrew, with Nix also recorded in the input package metadata. Its adoption significance comes less from enterprise deployment and more from shell users copying a tiny Git helper into daily branch-switching habits. ### Wie es verwendet wird Practitioners run git recent inside a repository, navigate the fzf list of branches, press Enter to check out a selection, and use Ctrl-O to inspect a diff. The README notes optional delta integration for formatted diffs and worktree detection that can guide a user to an existing checkout. Users who do not want the fzf dependency can run git recent-og, the renamed 2016 implementation, with options such as -n to limit the number of branches shown. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren git-recent is a compact example of the Git subcommand packaging pattern: one executable on PATH becomes a Git verb, distributed through npm, Homebrew, and Nix, and upgraded without changing the underlying Git data model. ### Zeitleiste - 2016: Script added to paulirish/dotfiles. - 2016: Standalone repository released and package published to npm. - 2018: Count parameter added. - 2019: Final 1.x bugfix recorded in the README changelog. - 2025: 2.0 upgrade added fzf integration and renamed the original implementation to git-recent-og. ### Related projects - fzf powers the 2.x interactive branch picker. - delta can format diffs shown from the interactive UI. - The README points branch-navigation enthusiasts to git-fuzzy, lazygit, tig, and fzf-git.sh. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** git-recent - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Conflicts With:** git-plus - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - git-recent: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/gi/git-recent/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [fzf](https://pkg.so/de/brew/fzf/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [git-flow](https://pkg.so/de/brew/git-flow/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, workflow. - [git-extras](https://pkg.so/de/brew/git-extras/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, workflow. - [git-town](https://pkg.so/de/brew/git-town/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, workflow. - [forgit](https://pkg.so/de/brew/forgit/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, fzf, git. - [git-branchless](https://pkg.so/de/brew/git-branchless/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, workflow. - [scmpuff](https://pkg.so/de/brew/scmpuff/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, workflow. - [legit](https://pkg.so/de/brew/legit/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, workflow. - [git-now](https://pkg.so/de/brew/git-now/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, workflow. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
