hugit VS tig

Just to expand on the "other options" in this post, I had written a (quick and hacky) Magit clone using ClojureScript + Reagent + Ink.

For browsers, there is reagent, which is a React wrapper. This can also be used for mobile/desktop using react-native, and TUIs using ink.

Here's a editor-agnostic magit-inspired git TUI I wrote some time back:

I used to use it inside IntelliJ console when Emacs wasn't available.

If you want fast-starting CLI apps in Clojure, there's a wide variety of options including CLJS+node and Babashka and Graal native compilation of Clojure jar. Here's a fast-starting CLI app I made in CLJS+node:

Related but I use tig, a TUI, a lot to examine the state of my working tree and index and stage/unstage/reset changes piecemeal. It works great.

I'd like to plug [tig](https://github.com/jonas/tig) for those who don't use emacs. I see lazygit recommended here too, but I've been using tig for years now and love it's simplicity.

Try tig

I'm normally a CLI git (and tig) user.

Sometimes when I work in command line I use tig (https://jonas.github.io/tig/). There is also similar tool lazygit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit)

And you accidently open a git TUI

tig +My custom command to fix MR comments by quickly editing an old commit's changes at the time when that commit was created. (Like a more controlled git-absorb that explicitly selects a commit to fixup and therefor avoids rebase-conflicts when squashing)

today I looked at tig which is a nice text based GUI, and I think I will never use git log again :-)

If you are looking for more interactivity while remaining on the commandline, have you looked at Tig? Tig has a view for browsing refs, and you can sort by date.
