About:
Gitu is a terminal user interface (TUI) Git client heavily inspired by Magit, the popular Emacs package. It provides an interactive, keyboard-driven interface for common Git operations like staging, committing, branching, and viewing history. The tool aims to bring Magit's efficient and intuitive workflow to the terminal without requiring a full editor environment.
Key Features:
  • Magit-inspired interactive staging and committing
  • Keyboard-driven TUI for efficient workflow
  • Visual representation of Git status and history
  • Cross-platform support via Rust
Use Cases:
  • Managing Git repositories directly from the terminal
  • Developers seeking a more visual alternative to raw Git CLI commands
  • Users who want Magit-like features outside of Emacs
Alternatives:
  • lazygit – Similar TUI functionality; lazygit is more feature-rich while gitu focuses on Magit-like minimalism
  • Magit – The original inspiration; requires Emacs
  • gitui – Another Rust-based TUI; gitui has a different keybinding scheme and layout
