I’ve just discovered a tool called Git-Sim that seems to be marvellous when you doubt about running a cgit command.

How to install git-sim?

Well it’s a little bit tricky so, in my case, for Fedora the steps are:

First enable rmp-fussion if you don´t have it. Check my Fedora first steps for that.

sudo dnf install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel openjpeg2-devel zlib-devel \
    freetype-devel lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel \
    harfbuzz-devel fribidi-devel libraqm-devel libimagequant-devel libxcb-devel \
    cairo-devel pango-devel python3-devel ffmpeg
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip Pillow
pip3 install manim
pip3 install git-sim

With that it shoud work.

How git-sim works?

Basically you run git-sim instead git and it will generate a picture of the simulation for you. Let’s see an example:

If I run git-sim clone https://github.com/qtekfun/qtekfun.github.io.git

where you can see the operation drew.

Happy gitting!
