To simplify debugging via VS Code, add '--debug' argument to example launch configuration. Also, reword the hint regarding the 'console' key slightly. It has apparently been available for a long time in stable releases and is also listed in the documentation. It is however, still marked as an experimental feature, even in the current release v1.65.2. See: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_5#_launch-debug-target-in-integrated-terminal See: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/debugging#_launchjson-attributes |

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.

Installation
Binary Releases
For Windows, Mac OS(10.12+) or Linux, you can download a binary release here.
Homebrew
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:
brew install jesseduffield/lazygit/lazygit
Core:
brew install lazygit
MacPorts
Latest version built from github releases. Tap:
sudo port install lazygit
Ubuntu
Deprecated: will no longer receive updates.
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
Void Linux
Packages for Void Linux are available in the distro repo
They follow upstream latest releases
sudo xbps-install -S lazygit
Scoop (Windows)
You can install lazygit
using scoop. It's in the extras
bucket:
# Add the extras bucket
scoop bucket add extras
# Install lazygit
scoop install lazygit
Arch Linux
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
Fedora and CentOS 7
Packages for Fedora and CentOS 7 are available via Copr (Cool Other Package Repo).
sudo dnf copr enable atim/lazygit -y
sudo dnf install lazygit
Solus Linux
sudo eopkg install lazygit
Funtoo Linux
Funtoo Linux has an autogenerated lazygit package in dev-kit:
sudo emerge dev-vcs/lazygit
FreeBSD
pkg install lazygit
Conda
Released versions are available for different platforms, see https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/lazygit
conda install -c conda-forge lazygit
Go
go install github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit@latest
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 mistaken for C:\Go\bin
(which is for Go's own binaries,
not apps like lazygit).
Chocolatey (Windows)
You can install lazygit
using Chocolatey:
choco install lazygit
Manual
You'll need to install Go
git clone https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit.git
cd lazygit
go install
You can also use go run main.go
to compile and run in one go (pun definitely intended)
Usage
Call lazygit
in your terminal inside a git repository.
$ lazygit
If you want, you can
also add an alias for this with echo "alias lg='lazygit'" >> ~/.zshrc
(or
whichever rc file you're using).
Keybindings
You can check out the list of keybindings here.
Changing Directory On Exit
If you change repos in lazygit and want your shell to change directory into that repo on exiting lazygit, add this to your ~/.zshrc
(or other rc file):
lg()
{
export LAZYGIT_NEW_DIR_FILE=~/.lazygit/newdir
lazygit "$@"
if [ -f $LAZYGIT_NEW_DIR_FILE ]; then
cd "$(cat $LAZYGIT_NEW_DIR_FILE)"
rm -f $LAZYGIT_NEW_DIR_FILE > /dev/null
fi
}
Then source ~/.zshrc
and from now on when you call lg
and exit you'll switch directories to whatever you were in inside lazygit. To override this behaviour you can exit using shift+Q
rather than just q
.
Undo/Redo
