gitterm

terminal ui (tui) frontend for git written in rust

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 because it was not bloated, snappy and free. Unfortunately the free part will change soon and so I decided to build a fast & simple terminal tool myself to copy the fork features i am using the most.
