Any tig users here ? I’m happy with it since then, looks like the feature set is pretty similar

I used tig way back in the day, but I have found `magit` to be superior and one of the most useful emacs packages that I use daily.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But only available in Emacs

What's the learning curve if you're not an Emacs user?

Magit is an excellent and widely used Git TUI.

But only available in Emacs

AFAIK a magit stand alone client exists

Anyway, I'm a happy user of this for VS Code

I use tig daily. I've never used anything I like as much for quickly browsing through commits in a repository or staging individual hunks.

how does tig compare to something like magit?

I’ve heard great things, but the Emacs dependency is a huge turn off.

Any lazygit users that switched over to gitui? If so, what made you switch?

Started with lazygit, but read about gitui at essentially the same time. Got used to gitui and it's speed so I stayed. Lazygit is pretty great too.

I mostly use gitui for staging things, it supports file, hunk and line staging, it's meant to compliment git cli, not replace it.

I also use it to manage tags.

Magit also functions as a proper git GUI with the Emacs GTK interface.

Just wanted to mention this in case anyone was under the impression that Magit was TUI only!

tig rules. gitui does not support vim keybinding for me, or I did not find out how. rust's size always surprise me: tig -- 600KB, gitui: 11MB similar size pattern for other utilties, in general, rust executable is about 200x larger than its c/c++ peers, and, they all linked to similar c/c++ libraries, looks like rust stdlib is pretty big in size to me.

rust binaries are statically linked, that's the big difference. If you included all the libc code statically in most c programs they'd probably also be pretty big

Lazygit is an alternative which worked great so far for me https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

Same, never had a problem with lazygit.
