Lazygit is a terminal UI for git commands, letting users manage commits, branches, stashes, and rebases through an interactive interface. It is written in Go and runs cross-platform.
Use cases
- stage and commit files from the terminal without typing git commands
- interactively rebase and cherry-pick commits
- browse diffs and file history in a TUI
- manage branches and resolve merge conflicts visually
- create and manage stashes quickly
When to choose
- you want a fast keyboard-driven git workflow in the terminal
- you find raw git commands error-prone and want a visual interface
- you work across macOS, Linux, or Windows and want one consistent git TUI
When to avoid
- you prefer a full GUI git client with mouse-driven workflows
- you only need scripted, non-interactive git automation
- you need IDE-integrated git tooling
