“it did a great job of convincing me that lazygit was a project with a lot of love and thought put into it”

“lazygit relies on certain branches being marked or inferred as main branches against which you can diff”

“switching branch by name is completely broken and you'll end up in commit in a detached state”

“I started using lazygit a couple years ago, never looked back. It's great”

“Lazygit is incredibly capable for everything (including this). I don't touch the git cli anymore.”

“a lot of real experts come to rely on powerful wrappers like Magit”

“I tried lazygit recently and it evoked the same feeling I had when trying Magit for the first time”

“part of this is just that manipulate index with something like lazygit”

“works brilliantly to give some near perfect porcelain to git specifically”

“it's what I use on remote hosts when TRAMP-ing into Magit would be too painful”

“I could probably cobble something close with tig or lazygit if I switched from emacs.”

“I don't need to remember much because all the keymaps are shown in the UI”

“Somehow it easier for me to check the code changes on lazygit compared to check it on Codex app.”

“it's a TUI program that's usable independently, that also happens to embed really well within vim”

“Lazygit and tig cover the few use-cases which Fork does not cover.”

“I primarily use lazygit for diff/patch editing as I'm preparing PRs”

“it is definitly the gold standard for full git management in the terminal”

“Full featured, also written in go, if that sort of thing matters to you”

“after trying lazygit, lazydocker, k9s and a few more TUI programs, I can see the value”

“Shellfish on iOS to ssh into a vps with tmux with Gemini-cli, lazygit and neovim worked quite well for me.”

“LazyGit was so good that it convinced me I didn’t need JetBrains anymore.”

“it is our policy that if something is already configurable in git, we don't add the same option again in lazygit”

“it's a bit easier to discover and use (e.g. you don't need a mouse)”

“I use lazygit as a separate binary (brew installed) from separate terminal shell all the time.”

“I can't free-form select text with a mouse like a can in a terminal.”

“I found the barrier to entry way lower with lazygit than with vscode.”

“I managed to get on fine with lazygit during a quick trial this morning.”

“I do recommend turning off force push (there is an option), as it's easy to fat finger”

“With a few keystrokes I can revert or move lines from any commit.”

“Lazygit is great, I use it all the time for straight forward git-fu.”

“The Mac version is less good about doing git submodule update when required”

“Makes for the most fluid, streamlined git experience ever if you primarily live in the terminal.”

“it is trivial to step through a file commit by commit when that is necessary”

“I became a convert couple of years ago after switching to Astronvim”

“It has better diff viewing, it separates the diffs by file and they look nicer.”

“I was a big fan of a good keyboard-driven git TUI like magit, neogit, lazygit”

“I use lazygit when I want to stage specific lines rather than an entire file.”
