24 alternatives to Lazyworktree, a TUI manager for Git worktrees
Inspired by lazygit, I have been working on a TUI to manage git worktrees easily, making some workflows for creating and managing worktrees a bit more straightforward. For example, creating a worktree from a PR/MR or from local changes. Executing commands on a worktree, or running a custom tmux session directly on a selected worktree. A lot of other tools are more CLI-oriented. I have tried to compile an honest comparison here: https://github.com/chmouel/lazyworktree/blob/main/COMPARAISO... Some of the code and documentation was written with an LLM if…

I context-switch a lot. Someone pings me about a bug while I'm mid-feature, and I either: 1. `git stash` (and forget what's in there forever) 2. Make a "WIP: stuff" commit (clutters history) 3. Ignore them until I'm done (not great) Worktrees solve this perfectly – each task gets its own directory, fully isolated. But the commands are clunky and I kept forgetting the syntax. So I built a small CLI wrapper. Now my workflow is: ``` wnew feat/login # creates worktree + cd into it # ...do work... wcd # fuzzy-pick another worktree, cd there wgo main # jump straight to main ``` Dashboard…

Hi Hacker news ! I’m Julien and I built an alternative CLI for Git : gut. Even if I haven’t been coding for a long time (I’m in the first year studying computer science), I’ve always found git to be frustrating. The command naming is inconsistent and git lets you easily shoot yourself in the foot. I made gut, another git porcelain, to solve these issues. It provides a consistent naming of command. To do so, syntax is based on subcommands. For example, to delete a branch, run gut branch rm rather than git branch -d, same to delete a remote (gut remote rm) and so on. Gut also prevents you from…

I use interactive rebase quite often, and particularly like the editor bundled with IntelliJ. But I do not always work with IntelliJ, and am not 'fluent' with Vim, so I tried to replicate roughly the same rebase experience within a TUI. I used a small TUI OCaml project i made last year. The notable features are: - Move commits up and down, fixup, drop - Rename commits from the editor (without having to stop for a reword during the rebase run) - Visualize modified files along commits - 'Explode' a commit ,creating a commit for each modified file (a thing I found myself doing quite often)…

I realised I was working on more parallel tasks with coding agents, but git branches became a huge bottleneck. Tried Git Butler but it just complicated things further. Found git worktrees as a solution but the git API was a bit too complicated for day to day. So thought I'll vibe-code this simple CLI utility to manage the process. It technically works with any setup – claude/codex/gemini + cursor/vim/whatever. Just manages git worktrees inside your repo and sets up your dev environment how you like it. Nothing fancy, just something I built to scratch my own itch. Figured…

hey hn, i built beehive for myself mostly. it has gotten to the point where my work consists in supervising oc or cc labor at tasks for multiple issues in parallel. my set up used to be zellij with a couple tabs, each tab working in a separate dir and it was a pain to manage all that. i know i could use git worktrees but they're kind of complicated, if you don't know how to use them it is easy to mess up, and i just prefer letting agents run in separate dirs with their own .git and not risk it. while i like zellij and use it inside beehive, i dont like the tabs and i forget where i am half…

I finally got fed up with making work + personal Git repos work on my machine. Ever clone a work repository and accidentally make commits using your personal email? Or forget how to make your work repos use your work SSH key? Yeah... same. So I built the tool I've always wanted. GitPersona - a CLI tool for managing many git profiles on a single machine. Shoutout to my boy Codex for helping me finally ship this.

Serie is a TUI application that uses the terminal emulators' image display protocol to render commit graphs like git log --graph --all. This is not a full-featured git client, nor are there any plans to add such functionality, so it is not a replacement for tig, lazygit, gitui, etc. The only purpose of this tool is to provide a pretty git log --graph and make commit information easily accessible. While some users prefer to use Git via CLI, they often rely on a GUI or feature-rich TUI to view commit logs. Others may find git log --graph sufficient. Personally, I found the output from git log…
