A simple terminal UI for git commands, written in Go with the gocui library.

Rant time: You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command line program to step through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, you have to edit an arcane patch file by hand? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realise that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just checkout the branch directly? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you.

Normally the lazygit formula can be found in the Homebrew core but we suggest you tap our formula to get the frequently updated one. It works with Linux, too.

Tap:

Core:

brew install lazygit

sudo port install lazygit

Packages for Ubuntu are available via Launchpad PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lazygit-team/release
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lazygit

Packages for Void Linux are available in the distro repo

They follow upstream latest releases

sudo xbps-install -S lazygit

You can install lazygit using scoop. It's in the extras bucket:

# Add the extras bucket

Packages for Arch Linux are available via pacman and AUR (Arch User Repository).

There are two packages. The stable one which is built with the latest release and the git version which builds from the most recent commit.

• Stable: sudo pacman -S lazygit
• Development: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lazygit-git/

Instruction of how to install AUR content can be found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository

Packages for Fedora and CentOS 7 are available via Copr (Cool Other Package Repo).

sudo dnf copr enable atim/lazygit -y

Released versions are available for different platforms, see https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/lazygit

conda install -c conda-forge lazygit

go get github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

Please note: If you get an error claiming that lazygit cannot be found or is not defined, you may need to add ~/go/bin to your $PATH (MacOS/Linux), or %HOME%\go\bin (Windows). Not to be mistaked for C:\Go\bin (which is for Go's own binaries, not apps like Lazygit).

You can install lazygit using
