Installing

Extract ToolGit to an appropriate folder of your choice and add the folder path to your PATH environment variable. Git will recognize executable git-* files in PATH and allow using them as sub-commands.

Execute the line below to install aliases as well:

git config set --append --global include.path path/to/toolgit/aliases.ini

Getting Started

Use -? switch to learn about commands and their options. Example:

$ git mode-restore -?
usage: git-mode-restore [-s <tree-ish>] [-W] [-S] [-8] [-n] [-q] [-?] path [path ...]
Restore file modes in index and/or worktree.
positional arguments:
path
options:
-s <tree-ish>, --source <tree-ish>
Restore file modes from the given tree. If not specified, the modes are restored from HEAD if --staged is given, otherwise from the index.
-W, --worktree The working tree modes are restored. This is the default.
-S, --staged File modes in the index are restored. Specifying both --worktree and --staged restores both index and worktree.
-8, --octal Print permissions in octal based numeric format instead of using 'rwx' letters.
-n, --dry-run Don’t actually restore file modes, just show what would happen.
-q, --quiet Suppress printing file permission changes to standard output.
-?, --help Show this help text and exit.

Example mode-restore usage:

$ git status
On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
