Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's probably because of HN's anti-LLM filter. I don't know if submitters use LLMs to touch up their descriptions or if these descriptions often use LLM-like phrasing.

Also lots of "genuinely" and some air quoted phrases which are another tell.

I guess you folks are right and it's probably the llm filter. I looked at the GitHub and thought it had too many screenshots to not have had some human effort, but who knows these days.

This is huge. I've always wanted to use Git in the terminal but never been happy with the underlying language that other TUIs were written in. Now that I know that I'm using developer-managed memory I can be much more comfortable and confident changing between branches, pushing, and pulling, and even merging code. Thanks Simone!

I've been using tig, written in C, for ages now, never once crashed. And I'm all for safe languages, but a git TUI isn't really as critical as you imply - if I interpreted the sarcasm correctly.

you dropped your /s

prolly authored it in a tui and it crashed, since it wasn't written in rust

Very cool, but if I'm prompting / looping an AI agent as my main development process, what is the use case here? I feel the biggest help would be to make Reviewing PRs from the terminal easier, I care less about commit logs and status.

I actually made something that has that exact purpose, making reviewing easier. https://github.com/lnenad/difiko

I just use the regular git cli. Works fine.
