Best website I've ever seen for a free utility.

They should really put the video/gif from their repo README on the website somewhere. I clicked around for a while trying to see what it looked like and finally found it on Github.

Haven't seen this in a while and had a look at the lazygit repository on GitHub and the README is just quite literally unreadable since I last looked at it.

The README is now full of ads, lots of nonsense on the page just to reach the text and on top of that, it is now written by Claude.

So right now Lazygit has become by definition slop. [0]

This needs a video or something on it to show what it does

This is not the official site. At the bottom it says:

The official site is the GitHub repository [0]

Wow, you are right. I checked the repository out for myself and it has like two or three screens just of ads and sponsor plugs before any content.

I don't know about anybody else, but IMO it's far superior to ask for donations after delivering value rather than before. That way maybe someone who likes the content can donate once satisfied, rather than deciding "no" in advance.

It honestly makes working with git so easy and fast that I would say it's the ideal way to interact with git. I highly recommend checking it out for a month if you're someone who would use git commands in the shell. I don't know how fast and visually clear the gui interfaces like the ones built into VS Code or Sublime Merge are but as someone who uses a terminal test editor having a tool like this has been fantastic.
