Tig: Text-Mode Interface for Git

1

Magit

There're multiple solutions like this and I've used some of them over the past years. - There's obviously the fantastic Magit (https://github.com/magit/magit) I did use this for a long time but recently switched over to LazyGit for the better Vim bindings and having more features - LazyGit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit). One thing that I added that (as far as I know) none of the others have and I sorely miss is VIM number based movements. So you can say 4j and jump 4 selections down. This makes it much faster (for me) to jump to the one file I'd like to commit. I ultimately stopped developing Gitsi because I didn't have the time to implement all the features others had readily available. I do prefer TUI based Git clients to full blown GUI apps because of the keyboard movement. So I can quickly enter do something and exit, while staying in the terminal.
