Any tig users here ? I’m happy with it since then, looks like the feature set is pretty similar
gitui does not support vim keybinding for me, or I did not find out how.
rust's size always surprise me:
tig -- 600KB, gitui: 11MB
similar size pattern for other utilties, in general, rust executable is about 200x larger than its c/c++ peers, and, they all linked to similar c/c++ libraries, looks like rust stdlib is pretty big in size to me.
Having said that, I'm also a tig user and at least at first glance, I prefer its simplicity. Gitui presents a huge amount of info on the default screen and spends quite a lot of real estate drawing borders around everything. Tig just takes me straight to the commit history, full screen and then I have single key actions to get to other views.
The only thing I don't like with Tig is how little it binds to keys with the expectation that you set up your own mappings to git commands. I would prefer it baked more of them in so they would be standard and documented ... but that is a minor complaint.
Rust binaries are just impressively large. I'd guess part of it must be how Rust monomorphizes generics: https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/backend/monomorph.html
It actually is possible to dynamically link to the standard library. Add this to your project's .cargo/config.toml file:
[build]
rustflags = ["-C", "prefer-dynamic"]

After you do `cargo build --release`, you will notice you hello world EXE is much smaller than a typical rust binary. Like 10~20KB small. On Windows it runs just fine. On Linux, I has to change the exe's RPATH to look for the standard library in the current directory:
patchelf --set-rpath '$ORIGIN' ./exe_name
tried all size reduction tricks,still the size is much large,like 15x large than c,c++. even the stdlib is a 3x larger than to libstdc++
It's the only tool I use to compliment the git cli.
I just prefer switching to my git tab in tmux and using the cli or tig deepening on what I'm doing.
