Configuring File Editing
Lazygit will edit a file with the first set editor in the following:
- config.yaml
os:
editCommand: 'vim' # as an example
- $(git config core.editor)
- $GIT_EDITOR
- $VISUAL
- $EDITOR
- $(which vi)
Lazygit will log an error if none of these options are set.
You can specify the current line number when you're in the patch explorer.
os:
editCommand: 'vim'
editCommandTemplate: '{{editor}} +{{line}} -- {{filename}}'
or
os:
editCommand: 'code'
editCommandTemplate: '{{editor}} --goto -- {{filename}}:{{line}}'
{{editor}}
in editCommandTemplate
is replaced with the value of editCommand
.
Overriding default config file location
To override the default config directory, use CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/.config/lazygit"
. This directory contains the config file in addition to some other files lazygit uses to keep track of state across sessions.
To override the individual config file used, use the --use-config-file
arg or the LG_CONFIG_FILE
env var.
If you want to merge a specific config file into a more general config file, perhaps for the sake of setting some theme-specific options, you can supply a list of comma-separated config file paths, like so:
lazygit --use-config-file="$HOME/.base_lg_conf,$HOME/.light_theme_lg_conf"
or
LG_CONFIG_FILE="$HOME/.base_lg_conf,$HOME/.light_theme_lg_conf" lazygit
Recommended Config Values
for users of VSCode
os:
openCommand: 'code -rg {{filename}}'
Color Attributes
For color attributes you can choose an array of attributes (with max one color attribute) The available attributes are:
Colors
- black
- red
- green
- yellow
- blue
- magenta
- cyan
- white
- '#ff00ff'
Modifiers
- bold
- default
- reverse # useful for high-contrast
- underline
Highlighting the selected line
If you don't like the default behaviour of highlighting the selected line with a blue background, you can use the selectedLineBgColor
and selectedRangeBgColor
keys to customise the behaviour. If you just want to embolden the selected line (this was the original default), you can do the following:
gui:
theme:
selectedLineBgColor:
- default
selectedRangeBgColor:
- default
You can also use the reverse attribute like so:
gui:
theme:
selectedLineBgColor:
- reverse
selectedRangeBgColor:
- reverse
Custom Author Color
Lazygit will assign a random color for every commit author in the commits pane by default.
You can customize the color in case you're not happy with the randomly assigned one:
gui:
authorColors:
'John Smith': 'red' # use red for John Smith
'Alan Smithee': '#00ff00' # use green for Alan Smithee
You can use wildcard to set a unified color in case your are lazy to customize the color for every author or you just want a single color for all/other authors:
gui:
authorColors:
# use red for John Smith
'John Smith': 'red'
# use blue for other authors
'*': '#0000ff'
Custom Branch Color
You can customize the color of branches based on the branch prefix:
gui:
branchColors:
'docs': '#11aaff' # use a light blue for branches beginning with 'docs/'
Example Coloring
Display Nerd Fonts Icons
If you are using Nerd Fonts, you can display icons.
gui:
showIcons: true
Keybindings
For all possible keybinding options, check Custom_Keybindings.md
You can disable certain key bindings by specifying null
.
keybinding:
universal:
edit: null # disable 'edit file'

keybinding:

branches:
viewGitFlowOptions: 'I'
setUpstream: 'U'
Custom pull request URLs
Some git provider setups (e.g. on-premises GitLab) can have distinct URLs for git-related calls and
the web interface/API itself. To work with those, Lazygit needs to know where it needs to create
the pull request. You can do so on your config.yml
file using the following syntax:
services:
'<gitDomain>': '<provider>:<webDomain>'
Where:
gitDomain
stands for the domain used by git itself (i.e. the one present on clone URLs), e.g.git.work.com
provider
is one ofgithub
,bitbucket
,bitbucketServer
,azuredevops
orgitlab
webDomain
is the URL where your git service exposes a web interface and APIs, e.g.gitservice.work.com
Predefined commit message prefix
In situations where certain naming pattern is used for branches and commits, pattern can be used to populate commit message with prefix that is parsed from the branch name.
Example:
- Branch name: feature/AB-123
- Commit message: [AB-123] Adding feature
git:
commitPrefixes:
my_project: # This is repository folder name
pattern: "^\\w+\\/(\\w+-\\w+).*"
replace: '[$1] '
Custom git log command
You can override the git log
command that's used to render the log of the selected branch like so:
git:
branchLogCmd: "git log --graph --color=always --abbrev-commit --decorate --date=relative --pretty=medium --oneline {{branchName}} --"
Result:
Launching not in a repository behaviour
By default, when launching lazygit from a directory that is not a repository, you will be prompted to choose if you would like to initialize a repo. You can override this behaviour in the config with one of the following:
# for default prompting behaviour
notARepository: 'prompt'
# to skip and initialize a new repo
notARepository: 'create'
# to skip without creating a new repo
notARepository: 'skip'
# to exit immediately if run outside of the Git repository
notARepository: 'quit'
