tig VS neogit

> 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.

Neogit

I would use this feature of lazy.nvim in a plugin that I rarely need. Something neogit for example. I can spend hours coding without using it. In that particular case I think is nice to have the option to load it when I actually call it.

This looks very much like the Noevim plugin I began using about a month ago: neogit[0].

The keybindings were a bit rough, and it took me about an hour of use before I was really comfortable with the overall workflow. Once I was, though, I’ve found it to be much faster than my previous workflow (suspending neovim and using git directly in the shell).

Edit: FYI: I made a feature request and got the answer, that it it possible to visually select the files and discard them like this together.

This is what I use for general git interaction and it‘s pretty neat: neogit. Also integrates diffview

For neovim users, there's a work-in-progress clone, neogit: https://github.com/timUntersberger/neogit/

Some of my colleagues use emacs/magit, and after seeing how absolutely lovely the workflow is, I've put in a lot of work over the last few months expanding it. You can check out my fork here: https://github.com/ckolkey/neogit/

One thing I particularly like to tease my emacs' colleagues about is that my magit is faster than theirs thanks to neovim's async capabilities.

You could use neogit (https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) for basic commands however I have found it's easier / more versatile to just use lazygit in either another tmux tmux window or within neovim itself.

The only thing I truly miss from Emacs is [Magit](https://magit.vc/) since I still consider it the best git wrapper available. It is just too good. Unfortunately [Neogit](https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit) is not quite there yet although I hope it makes it at some point. I didn't like [Fugitive]https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive), but I ended up finding a good enough workaround by using [Lazygit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) through [Toggleterm](https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim).
