Git Gud at Lazygit

Nov 12, 2025

I know that he's said it before, but recently, Hynek was again extolling Lazygit over on Mastodon, and after perusing the linked blog post (inb4 the subsequent Netlify limits), I decided to install it.

I wouldn't exactly call myself a git poweruser. Most times, I barely scratch the surface.

But after a little shakiness at the start, I'm starting to really enjoy it.

Being able to navigate with the mouse, in addition to the helpful reminder ribbon at the bottom for common commands, it has made the transition very smooth.

Always fun to commit to a new tool... 😎😁
