Gitu is a terminal user interface (TUI) Git client written in Rust, inspired by Emacs' Magit. It provides keyboard-driven Git porcelain features like staging, committing, rebasing, and stashing outside of Emacs.

Use cases

• manage git repos from the terminal with a magit-like interface
• stage and unstage files, hunks, and lines interactively
• perform interactive rebases and autosquash from a TUI
• commit, amend, and fixup without leaving the terminal
• a standalone magit alternative for vim users
• browse commit logs and show diffs in the terminal

When to choose

• you love Magit but don't use Emacs
• you want a fast, keyboard-driven terminal Git client
• you prefer Vim-like keybinds for Git workflows

When to avoid

• you need a graphical Git client with mouse support
• you only need simple git commands and prefer plain git CLI
• you require features not yet implemented in Gitu
