  • lazygit

    simple terminal UI for git commands

  • Fugitive is great but I prefer lazygit which is just brilliant. It's a dedicated TUI so feels more clean/purposeful and Jesse & co are adding more and more features all the time.

  • tig

    Text-mode interface for git

  • I use a combination of the command line and tig.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • vim-fugitive

    fugitive.vim: A Git wrapper so awesome, it should be illegal

  • If the answer is anything other than Fugitive, I'd love to hear why.

  • neogit

    An interactive and powerful Git interface for Neovim, inspired by Magit

  • If you are fine with using neovim there is neogit. Which is a Magit clone for neovim

  • lazygit.nvim

    Plugin for calling lazygit from within neovim.

  • vim-fugitive is great but you can try lazygit and calling it from within neovim with lazygit.nvim

  • animate.vim

    A Vim Window Animation Library

  • I use it both in and out of (neo)vim. Here's a script to pop it open in a split at the bottom: (requires animate.vim.. but only because it's fancy, would work without).

  • gitui

    Blazing 💥 fast terminal-ui for git written in rust 🦀

  • I use gitui https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui and put it in a floaterm https://github.com/voldikss/vim-floaterm.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
