Am I missing something with Ubuntu? Is it really deprecated? What’s the best way to install and keep up to date on Ubuntu?

Re: Lazygit: A simple terminal UI for Git commands
#52A very satisfied user. As a (neo)vim user, I did suffer from magit envy but at the end, Lazygit takes care of all my needs. I prefer the UX (Just a personal preference). Kudos to the dev for the wonderful tool PS: There is also lazydocker by same person https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker
There even is a Neovim plugin which can open lazygit in a floating window. The active Neovim instance will be used for multiline commit messages. https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim
Nice.
I have it hooked up to the toggleterm plugin [0]. This way I can pop layzgit and other things (gdb, ipython etc) on a floating term

Literally every git GUI I've used has screwed up a git repository at some point, requiring relatively-advanced CLI use to untangle it. They're wildly untrustworthy IMO. They also almost never perform reasonably on truly large repos, aside from gitk. Since using a GUI has inevitably required me to learn CLI in depth, and adds the complexity of figuring out what the hell the GUI actually did because of course it doesn'…
I found this to be true for a long time, but these days you have something like Fork which is much lore user friendly and FAST! We used to use Sourcetree, which is an abomination in comparison. I always use(d) the terminal, but Fork is the first time I am considering using a GUI as my main tool. Granted I haven't had to do anything complicated yet with it, so I don't know if it supports it, but I love it for the basi…
Also, GitUp (don't know the state of development now, though). Blazingly fast (but not on big repos with years and years of history), almost everything is done via keyboard shortcuts, allows scenarios like "oh, just mov this commit down, this comit up, squash these two, and re-write the commit message" in 5 seconds tops

I think that it's just difficult to submit updates to Ubuntu or get them incorporated. I think you can just download the binary and put it in /usr/bin or clone and run go install as per the instructions.

#55Very interesting project! This is one area where I always felt git was worse than mercurial. Latter has extremely useful tools like `hg hisedit` and `hg split`, for which git didn't have a counterpart.

Exactly the opposite for me. I absolutely do not trust GUIs to do the right thing. I don't trust text area to use correct line endings consistently across platforms, I don't trust them to be up to date with new options for `commit` or `checkout`, they never show examples what result will be (--dry-run). None GUI is ever up to date with documentation and contains all functionality which I can autocomplete with [tab][t…

I use GitSavvy. It feels the safest to me because I use the same small set of actions frequently. I fuck things up on the command line much more readily and in ways that I find harder to fix.

#57If there is one thing that terrifies me it's using Git, or any source control, from the command line. No matter how long I've been in this industry, I just can't get cozy with doing a lot of heavy lifting in any shell environment. Give me the GUI all day every day.
i can firmly say that installing emacs and doom emacs is well worth it solely for the magit interface. simply phenomonal. if you know the bare basics of emacs(like a few file commands and how to exit), magit and vim that is a huge productivity win. magit is simply the finest complete git gui that does most things seamlessly. simple workflow in the project dir $ emacs spc-g-g to enter magit ? shows help(and every comm…
I haven't used that one, but the experience you describe is similar to GitSavvy in Sublime. Which is the only reason I install sublime these days.

#58Thank You !
Going to install this tonight, does it work well with LFS?

not quite a "GUI", but lets not forget about vim-fugitive which does all this and a lot more besides.

I think it's possible to create a git GUI that is superior to the cmdline, but I've never seen it. SublimeMerge usually works fine, very useful for staging hunks. I still do interactive rebase on the cmdline tho.
