# tzemanovic/inflorescence Source: [https://nest.pijul.com/tzemanovic/inflorescence](https://nest.pijul.com/tzemanovic/inflorescence) A cross\-platform native GUI for[Pijul](https://pijul.org/)aiming for a pleasant UX, heavily inspired by[Magit](https://magit.vc/), built using[iced](https://iced.rs/)\. The core principles are: - Quick and easy to navigate and to execute common actions - Everything can be done with keyboard only \(though mouse is also supported\) - Show a menu of possible commands to aid exploration - Be responsive \(use async\) - Logic separated from UI implemention to allow reuse to build e\.g\. TUI, Emacs or other integrations Feature highlights: - Watches over the active files \(respecting`\.ignore`filter\) to always show up\-to\-date state - Shows diffs in context \(currenly only supported in changed files, recorded changes diffs don't yet have it\) - Can compare local against a remote repository - Interactive recording change selection- You can keep editing files with some to\-record selection \(these are the toggles next to changed files and hunks\) - Allows to toggle individual files and hunks - Note that the state of toggles is currently not persisted \(selects all on app restart\) - Project finder with support for Git repo import- Automatically searches sub directories for Pijul and Git repositories - Previously managed projects are persisted \(ordered by last closed timestamp\) - Can render images tracked in Pijul \(currently only able to show the latest version\) - You can inspect logs and diffs of other channels without switching to them This project is developed and tested on Linux, but it*should*work elsewhere too\. Issue reports are welcome\! ## Config Known projects are stored in`~/\.config/inflorescence/projects\.toml`\. Key bindings are not yet configurable \(though you can change them in the source in`inflorescence\_model/src/action\.rs`\)\. ## Install ``` cargo install --path inflorescence ``` ## Add a desktop shortcut ### Linux ``` # Copy the .desktop file cp contrib/holonyte-inflorescence.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/ # Copy the app icon cp assets/icon.png ~/.local/share/icons/inflorescence.png ```
