# gitui
blazing fast terminal-ui for git written in rust

![img](assets/main.jpg)

## motivation

I do most of my git usage in a terminal but i frequently found myself using git UIs for some use cases like: index/commit, diff, stash and log
Over the last 2 years my go to GUI tool for this was [fork](https://git-fork.com) because it was not bloated, snappy and free. Unfortunately the *free* part will [change soon](https://github.com/ForkIssues/TrackerWin/issues/571) and so I decided to build a fast & simple terminal tool myself to copy the fork features i am using the most.
