sfm VS tig

noice - 1k sloc small extensable file browser rover - 2k sloc, perfect tiny file browser. sfm- 3k sloc, very user friendly, very pretty, prob the best one here.

I do not know Volkov Commander but have a look at the simple file manager, it basically does exactly what you describe: https://github.com/afify/sfm

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.
