A simple terminal UI for git commands, written in Go with the gocui library.
Rant time: You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command line program stepping through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, bad luck? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realise that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just checkout the branch directly? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you.

sudo apt-get install lazygitPackages for Void Linux are available in the distro repo
They follow upstream latest releases
sudo xbps-install -S lazygitPackages for Arch Linux are available via AUR (Arch User Repository).
There are two packages. The stable one which is built with the latest release and the git version which builds from the most recent commit.
- Stable: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lazygit/
- Development: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lazygit-git/
Instruction of how to install AUR content can be found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository
Released versions are available for different platforms, see https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/lazygit
conda install -c conda-forge lazygitYou can download a binary release here.
go get github.com/jesseduffield/lazygitPlease note:
If you get an error claiming that lazygit cannot be found or is not defined, you
may need to add ~/go/bin to your $PATH (MacOS/Linux), or %HOME%\go\bin
(Windows). Not to be mistaked for C:\Go\bin (which is for Go's own binaries,
not apps like Lazygit).
Call lazygit in your terminal inside a git repository. If you want, you can
also add an alias for this with echo "alias lg='lazygit'" >> ~/.zshrc (or
whichever rc file you're using).

This is still a work in progress so there's still bugs to iron out and as this is my first project in Go the code could no doubt use an increase in quality, but I'll be improving on it whenever I find the time. If you have any feedback feel free to raise an issue/submit a PR.
If you want to see what I (Jesse) am up to in terms of development, follow me on twitter or watch me program on twitch.
