   simple terminal UI for git commands

   

   I've been using LazyGit [1] for a while and its made me realize how much easier a terminal ui can make things. It often makes me wish there was a TUI for the specific workflows I have when working in a given repo. Are there any programs that take some config file and produce a TUI as output? Eg. you have a file with a list of commands and aliases and it produces the corresponding TUI? Or are there any libraries which take minimal effort to add TUI elements to?

   As far as I know you'll still have to write a program for terminal applications.
