  When an AI agent is making autonomous changes to your codebase, you need a fast way to review what it just did. LazyGit is a terminal UI for git that lets you visually review diffs, stage files, and commit — all without memorizing git commands.

• 👨🏻‍💻 Developing my own VCS

  At this point, I found myself asking: Does Git continuously scan the working directory? I soon realized that there's a distinction between Git's core functionality and the behavior seen in Git GUIs like LazyGit. For example, when I modify a file in LazyGit, it's almost immediately marked in the UI. But that's not actually Git doing the tracking.

  lazygit is a TUI-based Git interface I use daily to:

• lazygit-style TUI for NuGet
  1 project | dev.to | 21 Feb 2026

  If you've ever used lazygit, you know the feeling. Git stops being a chore and becomes almost enjoyable. You can see everything at once, navigate with the keyboard, and do in seconds what used to take several commands.

  Eg: lazygit https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit?tab=readme-ov-file#... https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi https://github.com/darrenburns/posting or I guess Vim would be a prominent example.

  Peoples definitions will be on a gradient, but its somewhere between CLI (type into a terminal to use) and GUI (use your mouse in a windowing system), TUI runs in your terminal like a CLI but probably supports "graphical widgets" like buttons, bars, hotkeys, panes, etc.
