Using Guile for Emacs
> I would really like it if Magit was a standalone program, rather than an Emacs package, so that I could just switch to a more reasonable editor.
Always curious with folks who request this whether they've tried `tig` (https://jonas.github.io/tig/)?
Not sure what part of Magit you're looking for, but the basic workflow of jumping to changes and interactive staging works just as well to me in `tig` (with Vim) as Magit.

🦊 GitLab: Forget GitKraken, Here Are The Only Git Commands You Need
Use tig. This TUI (terminal user interface) is halfway between the GUI and the command line. It basically does the same thing as the previous command, but it’s easier on the eyes while allowing you to stay in the terminal. It will also make it easier to see the diff for a particular commit.

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.

What is your preferred version control software and what additional features do you wish it had?
I'm normally a CLI git (and tig) user.

Switching Fully to Neovim
Additionally, I integrate several CLI tools into my work flow, such as lazygit for streamlined Git operations, yazi as a terminal file manager, tmux for session management, and lazydocker for handling Docker containers efficiently.

TIL: Ghostty — a new and quite promising terminal emulator
While design is an important part to some degree, there is something more that I've become observing and, therefore, liking lately: the reasonable default configs of the apps, which mean that the majority of the users will never need to mess with configs at all. Here is a great post by Arne about this trend which lists such tools like Fish (mentioned above), Helix, Lazygit, Zellij, k9s, etc. And that a very user-friendly approach: install and use right away! I believe that Ghostty would be a good addition to the list. For example:

Tig: Text-Mode Interface for Git
There're multiple solutions like this and I've used some of them over the past years.
- There's obviously the fantastic Magit (https://github.com/magit/magit) which is an Emacs Plugin but you can configure your Emacs start up just with Magic and nothing else so that Emacs is only used as a TUI Git client. I did this for a while.
- There's GitUI written in Rust (https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui) I did use this for a long time but recently switched over to LazyGit for the better Vim bindings and having more features
- LazyGit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) is what I'm using right now and I'm mostly happy
I actually wrote my own in C some years ago called Gitsi (https://github.com/terhechte/gitsi).
One thing that I added that (as far as I know) none of the others have and I sorely miss is VIM number based movements. So you can say 4j and jump 4 selections down. This makes it much faster (for me) to jump to the one file I'd like to commit. I ultimately stopped developing Gitsi because I didn't have the time to implement all the features others had readily available.
I do prefer TUI based Git clients to full blown GUI apps because of the keyboard movement. So I can quickly enter do something and exit, while staying in the terminal

The Art of Manually Editing Hunks
For the TUI inclined, lazygit [1] and magit (emacs) [2] both have quick and intuitive ways of handling this. They're also both wonderful companions to the git cli for day to day version control.

How I use git
I came to suggest (once again) lazygit.
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit
Love the ability to pull a hunk out of a commit, create a new commit, then throw it over to another branch, with the press of a few keys.
