Graph not loading on gnome-terminal

Open Lacrymology opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I don't get the graph at all on gnome-terminal. I tried both -p values, and using --preload.

It has been a long time since I used it much, but I don't recall Gnome Terminal ever having any image protocol support. Does it now? If so which image protocol(s) are expected to work?

I don't believe the gnome terminal has image protocol support. I see the same behavior in tmux for the same reason. If it is practical to support an option where the graph is rendered like git log --graph but with the navigation features of serie, that would be awesome.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an option to show the graph in the original ASCII format used by git? I'm on iTerm and the experience is so slow that I'd trade not having the fancier graph in return of a fully responsive interface without thinking twice.

I love the idea of having a CLI tool just for nicely browsing the git log and quickly switching between the log and a diff view (or any custom view as you're now enabling with custom commands).

That's not technically feasible because it would also require different entry sorting and spacing to accommodate the graph drawing limitations. At that point, why not just use git graph?

That's kind of a strange ask. Really the only thing this project brings to the table that is ahead of other options in the graphics drawing protocol. If you just want a nice-ish graphs using UTF-8 drawing possibilities and easy access to the diff view, I suggest what you actually are looking for is tig (or gitu or gitui or lazygit or one of the other TUIs out there).
