About lazygit

Git is powerful and its command line makes the powerful parts tedious. lazygit shows files, branches, commits and stashes in panels, and turns the awkward operations into keypresses: stage a single line or hunk, amend a commit, squash, reword, cherry-pick, or run an interactive rebase by moving commits up and down a list.

It is one Go binary, works over SSH, and sits next to your existing Git setup rather than replacing it. Nothing it does is anything you could not do by hand, which is precisely why it is useful.

Strengths

  • Stage individual lines and hunks without editing a patch file by hand
  • Interactive rebase by moving commits in a list
  • One static Go binary that works over SSH
  • Uses your existing Git configuration and hooks

Limitations

  • Terminal only
  • You still need to understand Git; it hides the syntax, not the concepts
  • Keybindings take a session or two to learn
  • Large repositories can be slow to refresh
