I recently updated my Ubuntu to 20.04, so I had the change of Bazaar becoming Breezy, and no GUI for it. Also, the Diffuse program had to change because of GTK, so I was looking at how it supports the various VCS. I found Pijul because of learning Rust, so I was looking at how to add Pijul to Diffuse.
These tools should be able to be easily extended for Pijul.
One way is to use aliases, but all of the commands need to there.
I thought I could copy the Darcs section of Diffuse, and change the details to Pijul syntax, but Pijul is missing commands. Darcs has show commands, but I can’t see anything in Pijul to tell me the state of a file. How can Diffuse show the changes in a file if there’s no way to get at the data from a file viewpoint?
I saw another thread hear that mentioned an info command, but I tried it and it does nothing. It’s also not listed in the help.
I don’t think Pijul needs all the same commands as Git, but the same information should be able to be extracted.
