Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
https://github.com/jonas/tig is one of the first things I install on a new dev machine. It's a really nice UI for staging files or hunks. Since it's just a companion to the git CLI, it feels much more focused than full-blown git GUIs, and doesn't do anything magical.

Every Git Command I Use (Cheatsheet)
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.

Magit
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.

This is how I use vim and git, any other tips?
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)

tig to switch branches
