What is lazygit?

lazygit is a free, open-source terminal app that puts Git in one clear screen. Stage single lines, commit, switch branches, rebase, stash and resolve conflicts with a few keystrokes instead of memorising long commands, so version control stops slowing down your coding sessions.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

  • Keyboard shortcuts take a little learning
