lazygit is a simple but effective terminal user interface for git command.
The tool has received more than 55,000 GitHub stars.
This utility uses the gocui library.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Adding files easily.
- Resolving merge conflicts.
- Easily check out recent branches.
- Scroll through logs/diffs of branches/commits/stash.
- Quick pushing/pulling.
- Squash down and reword commits.
- Undo/redo – can read through your reflog for you and walk back action by action so that you don’t even need to read the reflog. If lazygit finds a reflog entry where you checked out a branch, we’ll checkout the original branch. If the entry is from a commit being applied, we’ll go back to the commit before that. If we hit an interactive rebase, we’ll go back to the commit you were on just before you started it.
- Supports custom pagers, configured in the config.yml fil.
- Add custom commands.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
