What is it?

Lazygit is a terminal user interface for git. It puts the status of your working tree, branches, commits, stash and remotes into a set of panels, so common git operations can be done with single keypresses instead of memorising command-line syntax.

Its main focus is operations that are awkward on the command line: staging individual hunks or lines, interactive rebasing with squash, fixup, drop and reorder, cherry-picking, bisecting, and amending older commits. It also supports worktrees, undo and redo via the reflog, a commit graph, comparing two commits, and custom commands defined in its configuration.

Lazygit is written in Go, installs as a single binary on Windows, macOS and Linux, and can show GitHub pull request status when the gh CLI is installed.

Key features

  • 01Stage individual hunks or lines directly from the diff view.
  • 02Interactive rebase with squash, fixup, drop, edit and reorder of commits.
  • 03Cherry-pick, bisect, and amend older commits without manual rebasing.
  • 04Worktree creation and switching from the branches view.
  • 05Undo and redo git actions using the reflog.
  • 06Custom commands and keybindings defined through configuration.

Use cases

  • Splitting a large working-tree change into several focused commits.
  • Cleaning up a feature branch with interactive rebase before opening a pull request.
  • Tracking down a regression with git bisect in a terminal-only environment.
  • Working on several branches at once using worktrees.
