- Tig: Text-Mode Interface for Git

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.

Is there any solution like Github Desktop and Gitkraken For terminal Users

How to commit part of file in Git
the only reason I do some git stuff in vim and not _always_ in the shell, is because tpope is very thoughtful and fugitive.vim provides nice ways to deal with hunks or hunk partials (visually selecting a range within a hunk, for i.e.)

GitUI
I agree, navigating blame history is incredibly useful, if only to save you from asking the wrong person about a particular change.
Vim's Fugitive[1] can do this and also in Textmate to. So I would hope that most editor git plugins can.

Is it too late to learn emacs as a vim lifer?
You'll want to invest the time in learning Magit, which will change your life once you get the hang of it (and I was a heavy user of Fugitive in Vim previously!), and it's unlikely you'll find a better integration with GDB anywhere else on the planet than with Emacs, though I can't say that empirically. You just need to take the plunge and start learning it, then cut over and take the hit in productivity one day when you're feeling adventurous. You'll ultimately become far more powerful than you've ever been. Especially if you delve into elisp over time. I use Spacemacs, which is bloated and has bugs, but it has so many features that I haven't undertaken the massive endeavor to replace it from scratch yet.

webify.nvim - Open the current file in the remote's web interface (github or gitlab) or yank its URL
For an option that works on Vim, if you already use tpope's vim-fugitive, there's vim-rhubarb (for GitHub) and fugitive-gitlab.vim (for GitLab).

Vim users who work without any plugins, how does your vimrc look like?
I replace vim-fugitive with :! git
