## What it is
A terminal UI tool that wraps common git operations like status, add, commit, log, diff, and branch management in an interactive interface. It is built with Node.js and blessed and offers vi or mc style keybindings.

## Use cases
- manage git commits from the terminal without memorizing commands
- interactive git staging and committing in a TUI
- browse git log and diffs in the terminal
- use vi or mc keybindings for git workflows

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight terminal UI for everyday git operations
- you prefer vi or mc style keyboard navigation for git

## When to avoid
- you need push, pull, or merge conflict handling, which are unimplemented
- you need a maintained tool - the last release was in 2015
- you prefer modern alternatives like lazygit or tig
