How would TUI mode fit in this project?
Just thinking about how TUI mode would fit in this project. We can do some operations on the TUI as such: jump, delete, sync, fetch, copy path, rename, move, etc.
Wdyt?
I think gitui handles TUI integrations very well and it would be redundant to have gfold do the same within an single repository.
gfold is designed to give a bird's eye view of your repositories on disk, and then exit. I could see a use case where a user sees a certain status for a given repository and then wants to operate on it (e.g. rename, move, jump), but I think that would be best handled by jumping to gitui.
That being said, a potential idea is an integration with gitui. For example, a minimal TUI layer could be added to gfold that then jumps to gitui when you highlight the repository using arrow keys (or WASD or HJKL) and hit "ENTER" on your keyboard.
Thoughts on that idea?

Oh, I see now. Thanks.

Sounds cool idea!
Seems like maybe https://github.com/nickgerace/gfold/issues/168 and this issue could combine into something like the following:
- Add an optional interactive mode
- The interactive mode should feel like a traditional TUI with the ability to jump to a highlighted repository in the results
- The jump should be able to
cdat minimum, but there might also be an option to drop right intogituias well
What do you think? :)
I would definitely use the interactive mode. :) I think interacting with gfold would provide much better UX in long-term.
Currently, It only shows the git projects and works like a charm. But we can iterate this project further:
-
cding - rename/move/etc.
- copy
pwdor upstream url - filter by
cleanstatus - filter by project name
- filter by programming language
- stash and backup all working state
- sync all to upsteam
- ... you name it
