That was awesome. I've been working on a budgeting app and recently demoed it to my in-laws, and I definitely felt quite embarrassed as I was showing it and explaining it. I felt a bit discouraged after but this article has helped me realize that maybe I'm on the right path. Thanks!

Just love lazygit, makes me happy every time I use it, which is every like every 5 minutes. Love how extensible it is with custom actions. Love the recent integration of update-refs. Thank you, happy new job and congrats !

I didn&#x27;t know about Lazygit and this blog post offers no context nor link to a presentation of the project.<p>For those like me: Lazygit is a &quot;simple terminal UI for git commands&quot; and is located at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jesseduffield&#x2F;lazygit">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jesseduffield&#x2F;lazygit</a>

LazyGit is one of my favorite pieces of software. I use it everyday, I love how seamlessly it fits into my work flow. The fact that it outputs all of its commands has helped me form a deeper understanding of git and what it’s doing under the hood. Not to mention it saves a TON of time.

Funnily enough, I just switched to helix so I needed a git client.<p>I tried lazygit but couldn&#x27;t get into it. It was nice but slow for my work&#x27;s monorepo.<p>I switched to gitui, which is kinda... Obtuse. But fast. I<p>I just added a PR to help with fixup workflows. Which is the first time I&#x27;ve contributed to a rust codebase

I really like lazygit when I need something quicker and more ergonomic than the VSCode git extension.<p>I’m still partial to magit over everything else but lazygit has replaced a lot of my CLI usage of git. Thanks Jesse.

This captures how we &quot;mature&quot; as developers (and humans) when we ship software that other people actually use. A hilly journey of embarassment and pride :)<p>Thanks for sharing.
