About gitui
gitui is a Rust-based terminal UI that makes everyday Git operations feel like a lightweight GUI without leaving the command line. It focuses on speed, keyboard-first navigation, and interactive staging so you can review diffs, stage hunks, amend commits, and inspect history with minimal context switching. The tool is designed for large repositories where heavyweight GUI clients can feel sluggish, and it keeps the Git workflow visible and explainable through inline help. Because it is a terminal app, it works well over SSH and in constrained environments, which makes it a strong fit for developers who live in their terminal but still want a visual layer. It is open source and actively maintained.
