Install Froggit

Froggit is a terminal-based Git assistant written in Go that makes staging, committing, pushing, and switching branches easier and more interactive.

Installation

Follow these steps to install Froggit on your system:

1. Download the latest release

Visit the Releases page and download the binary for your operating system.

• Linux/macOS:

  chmod +x froggit
  sudo mv froggit /usr/local/bin

• Windows: Download the .exe file and optionally add it to your PATH.

2. Using go install (for developers)

You can also install Froggit directly from the source if you have Go installed:

go install github.com/your-username/froggit@latest

Make sure your $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is in your PATH to use the froggit command globally.

3. Verify installation

Once installed, run:

froggit --help

You should see a list of available commands and options.

Requirements

• Go 1.20 or newer (if building from source)
• Git must be installed and available in your system PATH
• Nerd Fonts installed on your system (required for icon rendering and better aesthetics)

Recommended Terminal Setup (Optional)

For the best experience and visual appearance, it is recommended to use terminals that support Nerd Fonts and have good Unicode rendering, such as:

• WezTerm
• Alacritty

Configuring Fonts in VSCode Terminal

If you use VSCode’s integrated terminal, configure it to use a Nerd Font to properly display icons:

1. Open VSCode settings (Ctrl+, or Cmd+,).
2. Search for terminal.integrated.fontFamily.
3. Set it to a Nerd Font installed on your system, for example: "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font", "Fira Code Nerd Font", "MesloLGS NF", monospace

Note: Using Nerd Fonts and these recommended terminals is optional but significantly improves the UI experience.
