    A TUI Git client inspired by Magit (by altsem)

  • forgit

    :zzz: A utility tool powered by fzf for using git interactively.

  • i don't like tuis that much (other than for editing text, i mean), but i also really don't like git's command line interface.

    so i've been using forgit, which basically adds a really nice fzf interface for git. it really fits the way i work within a terminal (i'm a heavy fzf user).

    Build terminal commands via an interactive and documentable interface (by federicotdn)

  • Nice! I tried some months back implementing a “framework” that would allow for implementing Magit-like interfaces for any command (https://github.com/federicotdn/brief) but at the end of the day, implementing bespoke interfaces per-command would probably allow you to better integrate with the command itself.

  • tig

    Text-mode interface for git (by LucasPayne)

  • I love tig. I have an ad-hoc fork of it adding a new window which displays the a preview of the selected file in the git status, so I don't have to navigate through the single window. It is very helpful to browse the files in a diff easily. (https://github.com/LucasPayne/tig) I swear I will clean up the fork soon, I just implemented it in whatever way worked :)
