Elevator Pitch

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.

Features

Stage hunks or individual lines

Press 0 on a changed file to focus its diff in the main view. The selection covers a whole hunk to begin with, so ` stages that hunk and moves on to the next one. When you want only part of a hunk, press a for line-by-line selection and v to select a range of lines. What you staged shows up in the pane below. Press to move between the two panes; unstages in the lower one. Press c` to commit without leaving the diff.

Interactive Rebase

Press i to start an interactive rebase. Then squash (s), fixup (f), drop (d), edit (e), move up (ctrl+k) or move down (ctrl+j) any of the TODO commits, before continuing the rebase by bringing up the rebase options menu with m and then selecting continue.

You can also perform any of these actions as a once-off (e.g. pressing s on a commit to squash it) without explicitly starting a rebase.

This demo also uses shift+down to select a range of commits to move and fixup.

Cherry-pick

Press shift+c on a commit to copy it and press shift+v to paste (cherry-pick) it.

Bisect

Press b in the commits view to mark a commit as good/bad in order to begin a git bisect.

Nuke the working tree

For when you really want to just get rid of anything that shows up when you run git status (and yes that includes dirty submodules) kidpix style, press shift+d to bring up the reset options menu and then select the 'nuke' option.

Amend an old commit

Pressing shift+a on any commit will amend that commit with the currently staged changes (running an interactive rebase in the background).

Filter

You can filter a view with /. Here we filter down our branches view and then hit enter to view its commits.
