The lazy Git UI you didn't know you need

Now I no longer directly use git, but instead use jujutsu (jj).

Once I became very proficient in the jj cli, I picked up jjui: https://github.com/idursun/jjui

Also, as splitting commits is an extremely frequent operation, this neovim plugin is really nice: https://github.com/julienvincent/hunk.nvim

Also this neovim plugin is amazing for resolving jj conflicts: https://github.com/rafikdraoui/jj-diffconflicts

Now with jj instead of git I edit the commit graph as effortlessly as if I am moving lines of code around a file in my editor.

If I want to be hard-core, I'd use the original git CLI. SourceTree is unmatched in how it makes using git so much more pleasant for when you need to do something relatively simple, but which would be quite cumbersome to do with the CLI and most other tools I've tried.

Its file status and history view is unmatched IMO. I can easily stage/unstage hunks and even lines. The whole UI is generally quite polished and pleasant to use.

It's a real shame there is not a version for linux. I've tried every other git interface under the sun and keep coming back to it. In the meantime, I tried lazygit the past weekend and I think it is one of the better TUI git tools out there, definitely better than GitUI.

I found lazygit specifically so bad to the point that I was better off typing in git commands into the terminal manually like some sort of caveman. Somehow, lazygit has found a way to make git even more confusing and user hostile than it already is, which is a significant achievement.

Using it was a harsh reminder of what people running emacs or vim for the first time have to go through.

This idiotic ui paradigm where you have to actively learn to use what should be simple software by memorizing commands and shortcuts needs to die off. It's mind bogglingly inefficient and disrespectful of user's time.

Just think about it - I've literally never had to open Fork's manual (I am not even sure it has one) whereas in lazygit it is utterly impossible to do the most basic things without referring to the manual. Why do we collectively keep tolerating these shitty tools?
