Re: Lazygit: Simple terminal UI for Git commands
#2I'm using this tool for a couple of months now and I fully enjoy it. I was always the CLI type when it comes to using git. I never liked the ambiguity that regular UI tools introduced. I want to know which git commands are being executed when I click a button or drag and drop a commit.
With lazygit, I never missed that feeling of control. All commands are printed and rather complicated rebases become a breeze. Highly appreciate this tool! :)

#3Looks rather nice when looking at, but I have to say that (for me) the animations in the github page are way to fast to get any feeling of what the tool does.

#4I use IntelliJ IDEA and often rely on their own Git functionality. But it cannot stage specific lines, only whole chunks [1]. For that, I've been using lazygit for a couple of months now. I like its simple UI and that it makes staging specific lines very easy and quick. If you like lazygit, you might also be interested in similar Git CLI clients that I collected here [2].

#5I found lazygit after building something of my own thay solves some of these problems for me - git-fuzzy [0].
I'd like to share some of my thoughts about the comparison.
lazygit is a TUI for git which can behave in a standalone fashion. It's also designed to be quick and easy to use to perform quite advanced actions but ones that a seasoned git user may really want when working with git history. Since I'm already a seasoned git user the main feature I like about lazygit is the ability to surgically work with patches.
All that said, a majority of my workflow is tightly bound to git-fuzzy. I use its CLI composability quite heavily in combination with aliases and functions - git-fuzzy excels in this particular way (`git fuzzy log $(git fuzzy branch)` which I invoke using `gl $(gb)` by way of aliases). git-fuzzy is better for working with git-log or git-reflog and interactively searching them.
I personally quite like what I made (for myself), though I wish there was a world where I could quickly and easily mash both of these projects together.

#6I use this a lot, as well as Magit. Simple terminal commands work fine, but I like selecting what chunks of code I want to commit, and these tools make it especially easy.

#7I've been using this a for while now as a replacement for fugitive, since moving from Neovim to Helix. Overall it's great, but I do wish there were some better tutorials for it thou.

#9Maybe some VSCode users can tell me what specific actions Lazygit do that Gitlens (free version), can't do? And gitlens can do a lot (stash handling, commit revert, branch checkout from remote, autofetch, rebase and many more). Or is it just a different workflow that others find easy to use?
