+### Gentoo Linux
+
+Lazygit is not (yet) in main Gentoo portage, however an ebuild is available in [cova overlay](https://github.com/cova-fe/cova-overlay/tree/main/dev-vcs/lazygit)
+
+You can either add the overlay to your system and install lazygit as usual:
+
+```sh
+sudo eselect repository enable cova
+sudo emaint sync -r cova
+sudo emerge dev-vcs/lazygit
+```
+
+Or you can download the ebuild and install it manually; please consider the example below just as a suggestion to be adapted to your system.
+
+```sh
+su
+LAZYGIT_VERSION="0.39.3" # Replace with the version you want from cova-overlay
+cd /usr/overlay/dev-vcs/ # Replace your overlay path
+mkdir lazygit
+cd lazygit
+curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cova-fe/cova-overlay/main/dev-vcs/lazygit/lazygit-${LAZYGIT_VERSION}.ebuild
+ebuild lazygit-${LAZYGIT_VERSION}.ebuild manifest
+emerge lazygit
+```
