1. Features Top ▲
- Fast and intuitive keyboard only control
- Context based help (no need to memorize tons of hot-keys)
- Inspect, commit, and amend changes (incl. hooks: pre-commit,commit-msg,post-commit,prepare-commit-msg)
- Stage, unstage, revert and reset files, hunks and lines
- Stashing (save, pop, apply, drop, and inspect)
- Push / Fetch to / from remote
- Branch List (create, rename, delete, checkout, remotes)
- Browse / Search commit log, diff committed changes
- Responsive terminal UI
- Async git API for fluid control
- Submodule support
2. Motivation Top ▲
I do most of my git work in a terminal but I frequently found myself using git GUIs for some use-cases like: index, commit, diff, stash, blame and log.
Unfortunately popular git GUIs all fail on giant repositories or become unresponsive and unusable.
GitUI provides you with the user experience and comfort of a git GUI but right in your terminal while being portable, fast, free and opensource.
3. Benchmarks Top ▲
For a RustBerlin meetup presentation (slides) I compared lazygit
,tig
and gitui
by parsing the entire Linux git repository (which contains over 900k commits):
Time | Memory (GB) | Binary (MB) | Freezes | Crashes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
gitui |
24 s ✅ | 0.17 ✅ | 1.4 | No ✅ | No ✅ |
lazygit |
57 s | 2.6 | 16 | Yes | Sometimes |
tig |
4 m 20 s | 1.3 | 0.6 ✅ | Sometimes | No ✅ |
4. Road(map) to 1.0 Top ▲
These are the high level goals before calling out 1.0
:
5. Known Limitations Top ▲
- no sparse repo support (see #1226)
- no support for GPG signing (see #97)
- no git-lfs support (see #1089)
- credential.helper for https needs to be explicitly configured (see #800)
Currently, this tool does not fully substitute the git shell, however both tools work well in tandem.
The priorities for gitui
are on features that are making me mad when done on the git shell, like stashing, staging lines or hunks. Eventually, I will be able to work on making gitui
a one stop solution - but for that I need help - this is just a spare time project for now.
All support is welcomed! Sponsors as well! ❤️

7. Build Top ▲
Requirements
-
Minimum supported
rust
/cargo
version:1.70
- See Install Rust
-
To build openssl dependency (see https://docs.rs/openssl/latest/openssl/)
- perl >= 5.12 (strawberry perl works for windows https://strawberryperl.com/)
- a c compiler (msvc, gcc or clang, cargo will find it)
-
To run the complete test suite python is required (and it must be invocable as
python
)
Cargo Install
The simplest way to start playing around with gitui
is to have cargo
build and install it with cargo install gitui --locked
. If you are not familiar with rust and cargo: Getting Started with Rust
Cargo Features
trace-libgit
enable libgit2
tracing
works if libgit2
built with -DENABLE_TRACE=ON
this feature enabled by default, to disable: cargo install --no-default-features
8. FAQs Top ▲
see FAQs page
9. Diagnostics Top ▲
To run with logging enabled run gitui -l
.
This will log to:
- macOS:
$HOME/Library/Caches/gitui/gitui.log
- Linux using
XDG
:$XDG_CACHE_HOME/gitui/gitui.log
- Linux:
$HOME/.cache/gitui/gitui.log
- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%/gitui/gitui.log
10. Color Theme Top ▲
gitui
should automatically work on both light and dark terminal themes.
However, you can customize everything to your liking: See Themes.
11. Key Bindings Top ▲
The key bindings can be customized: See Key Config on how to set them to vim
-like bindings.
12. Sponsoring Top ▲
13. Inspiration Top ▲
- lazygit
- tig
- GitUp
- It would be nice to come up with a way to have the map view available in a terminal tool
- git-brunch
