Lazygit — Simple Terminal UI for Git Commands

Lazygit is a simple terminal UI for git commands. Stage files, commit, push, rebase, cherry-pick, squash, and browse history without memorizing 30 git commands. Written in Go and designed for speed with vim-style keybindings.

Quick Use

Use it first, then decide how deep to go

This block should tell both the user and the agent what to copy, install, and apply first.

# Install
brew install lazygit                     # macOS
sudo apt install lazygit                 # Debian/Ubuntu (PPA or GH)
scoop install lazygit                    # Windows
go install github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit@latest

# Launch in any git repo
lazygit

Essential keybindings:

  • space — stage/unstage file
  • c — commit
  • P — push
  • p — pull
  • b — branches panel
  • r — rebase onto
  • m — merge
  • z — undo
  • ? — help menu
Intro

Lazygit is a simple terminal UI for git commands written by Jesse Duffield in Go. Replaces the dozens of git command-line verbs with an intuitive TUI: panels for files, branches, commits, stashes, and remotes. Built on gocui with vim-like navigation.

What Lazygit Does

  • Staging — stage/unstage files, hunks, or lines interactively
  • Commits — amend, squash, fixup, reword, edit messages
  • Branches — create, checkout, delete, rebase, fast-forward
  • Merges/rebases — visual conflict resolution
  • Stashes — save, apply, drop with previews
  • Cherry-picking — visual across any commits
  • Interactive rebase — move/drop/squash commits in a TUI
  • Search — within the log
  • Custom commands — define your own shortcuts

Architecture

Go binary + gocui TUI library. Wraps git commands under the hood — the TUI just orchestrates them. Works in any git repo, no special setup needed.

Self-Hosting

CLI tool.

常见问题 FAQ

Q: 比命令行快在哪？ A: 复杂操作（interactive rebase、hunk staging、cherry-pick 多个 commit）用 TUI 点选远快于输命令。

Q: 能看 git 执行了什么吗？ A: 按 p 进入 log 面板，右下角有实时 command log，能看到每步实际跑的 git 命令。

Q: Merge conflict 怎么处理？ A: Lazygit 会显示冲突文件，按 enter 进入可视化冲突解决器（选择 ours/theirs/both）。
