tig VS lazygit.nvim

> 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.

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.

If you want an interactive commit graph, among other features, look at tig https://jonas.github.io/tig/

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.

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.

lazygit inside neovim might not be a complete replacement for magit (I can't tell yet), but it does everything I need it to for day to day development. I can't remember the last time I launched Emacs for work.

Using tmux, I could just have a shell to pivot into when I want to work with Git. Fine, and I could do that. But I'm using the Neovim plugin for LazyGit. Which takes advantage of this LazyGit UI.

Github - Lazygit.nvim

There is even a plugin for Vim, that lets you open it in a floating overlay. https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

there's a lazygit plugin if you want to skip the step of opening Toggleterm

I really like this lazygit integration: https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

So I use https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim All of my git workflow is done in lazygit gg opens the float and away I go

I don't use IntelliJ, so, I don't know how it exactly looks like. But I use this: https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

Why not just use lazygit.nvim?

But using vim-floaterm instead of the https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim plugin (which mentions a different plugin https://github.com/akinsho/nvim-toggleterm.lua#custom-terminals as an alternative).
