GitUI

Fast terminal UI for Git written in Rust

About GitUI

GitUI provides the comfort of a Git GUI directly in the terminal with fast, keyboard-only control and context-based help. It supports inspecting and committing changes, staging hunks and lines, stashing, branch management, commit-log browsing and push/fetch, and is designed to stay responsive on very large repositories.
