A GUI tool gives a better view on the diff, stash and blame. + +But then, if you are a terminal dweller, who wants the comfort of GUI with Git, I have got a good tool for you. + +It is called GitUI and it provides user experience and comfort similar to a git GUI but right in your terminal. It is portable, fast, free and open source. + +### GitUI: A terminal based tool for Git + +[GitUI][2] is not the first Git client for Linux terminal. So, what makes GitUI different than other similar projects like [lazygit][3] or [tig][4]? + +GitUI developer has shared some benchmark in the README file of the project. + +| 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 + +Comparison between GitUI, LazyGit, and Tig; simple user interfaces for Git + +Most of this optimization comes from the use of Rust programming language. + +_**Note: This program is in early stages of development and is not production ready yet.**_ + +### Installing GitUI on Linux + +Needless to say, you should have [Git installed on your system][5] already. + +To use GitUI, you need to [install Rust support for your Linux distribution][6] first. + +In a terminal, use the following command: + +``` +curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh +``` + +![Installing Rust on Linux][7] + +Go with option 1 when you are asked for a choice. When script finishes installation, set the configuration right with this command: + +``` +source $HOME/.cargo/env +``` + +Now that you have Rust and its package manager Cargo installed, use the Cargo command to install GitUI: + +``` +cargo install gitui +``` + +And you’re ready to use GitUI, for that just type `gitui` in the terminal to run it. I made some sample files to play with Git and GitUI. + +![Starting gitui on terminal][8] + +It’s important to mention that the interface has a fast and intuitive keyboard-only control. Everything is as easy as type the correct letter to stage, commit, branch, or push your files into your git repository. + +Something that really gets me excited was that you can not only do the four actions before, but you can also **edit** each file, **pull** it, **blame** it, **navigate** inside it, and more things; everything without existing from the interface. Awesome, isn’t it? + +![More functions inside the interface][9] + +Felicitations! Now you know how to install GitUI and how it looks like in your terminal. + +If you like the project, start its repository on [GitHub][2]. If you use some other tool to manage Git, please suggest your favorite in the comment section. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/gitui/ + +作者：[Marco Carmona][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/marco/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/basic-git-commands-cheat-sheet/ +[2]: https://github.com/Extrawurst/gitui +[3]: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit +[4]: https://jonas.github.io/tig/ +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/install-git-ubuntu/ +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/install-rust-cargo-ubuntu-linux/ +[7]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Installing-Rust-step-1.png?resize=800%2C471&ssl=1 +[8]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Starting-GitUI-on-terminal.png?resize=800%2C471&ssl=1 +[9]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/More-functions-inside-the-interface.png?resize=800%2C471&ssl=1
