Lazygit - The Best Way To Use Git On The Terminal & Neovim

[@ykhatat]

Just a tip: Press Ctrl-Z to put nvim in background and then later type 'fg' to bring it back. No need to close and reopen it everytime. Nice video btw.

[@joseanmartinez]

I didn’t know about that, thanks!

[@GavinBogie]

Woah. Thanks for the tip!

[@maguilecutty]

Or just get the plug-in for neovim and press leader gg …

[@MrBratkenSolov]

use tmux to have stuff in different panes

[@RichardAPalaciosG]

I started the vim world thinking it was a mistake to use Ctrl + Z, it was hard to stop using it and use "u" but now it makes sense.

[@olearydj]

Just here to say your production values set the bar for this kind of content. Outstanding.

[@joseanmartinez]

Thank you!!

Huh 🧐

[@tamtamresearchs.r.o.5562]

I am using lazygit since 2021. But it was worth to watch your video - well scripted, very explanatory, explains how to find your way, succinct presentation. Well done.

[@JefCollier]

I'm in the same boat. I watched this--like many of Josean's vids--to see if I was just stuck using LG in "my way." I think one of the best parts of this was how he showed how to use the help screen to find commands rather than just telling you to hit "a" then "C" then "P."

[@MangaTengu]

I love how you take the time to show how useful `?` is through example 👍

[@henrikleion9861]

Lazygit is awesome. Today I finally finished and rebased an old feature branch which was dozens of commits behind. Sorted out the rebase merge conflicts, squashed, reordered and reworded 30 commits into 4. A job that would have taken me hours on CLI was completed in 30 minutes. If you’re in the Rebase camp of git, this tool is a must.

[@jonathanrodriquez3775]

Lazygit is sweet! Makes committing specific files so easy.

[@sambrown7691]

Great video! But also it brings me great comfort to know that other people typo the word 'svelte' the same way that I always do.

[@maguilecutty]

Other great things I use everyday are keybinding “o” for that will open a browser and setup a pull request for me and the stashes for moving between branches without having to stage changes :) I watched this vid cause I thought I’d learn something I didn’t use this tool for and it certainly hit the mark!

[@bagfleet]

Great vid! Will definitely give lazygit a try again.

Thanks for sharing another amazing video. One tip: install delta to show git diff side-by-side with colors highlighting various changes.

[@slim_mike]

this is just what I was missing on my setup. Thank you very much!

[@wulymammoth]

This works for almost any process, because prior to terminal emulators, this was one of a few ways to obtain your command prompt back and run another process while the original is suspended. If the process needs to keep running, you can bg it and then type “jobs” to list them

[@RichardAPalaciosG]

Nice!! Thanks for the tutorial Josean.

[@JimSedric]

This is amazing, imma start using it from now on

[@TobiasFrei]

🙏 a lot for telling. And while I always enjoy reading another chapter in Pro Git, lazygit *does* speed up my workflow from this day 🤓

[@joseanmartinez]

Awesome!

[@tvntvn-b]

Great video! One of the other great features is the pull request. Having the branch you want to merge to checked out, navigate on the branch you want to merge and pressing ”o” will open the github PR page with some of the fields prefilled. I dont think i’ve made PRs any other way after learning about it.

[@joseanmartinez]

That’s awesome! Thanks for pointing this out too!

I found this video really informative and enjoyable. I'm really curious about how to debug in Neovim. Do you have any plans to make a video on this topic?

[@chalmagean]

[@zirs6660]

Great video! you are the best tutorial video I ever saw. Could you share your raycast configure?

[@Oktomvri]

Heya, Josean. Your tutorials are so awesome and what's gotten me into neovim to begin with. You mentioned you you can scroll the unstaged changes panel with your mouse. Is there anything specific in your setup to enable this? I haven't been able to accomplish this in both lazygit and neovim (on MacOS). Thanks in advance. Keep up the great video quality! :)

[@joseanmartinez]

Hey! Thanks! Not sure why it might not be working for you. It has been working for me. Might have to do with mouse functionality overall in your terminal setup. I’m currently using wezterm and tmux. I have the mouse enabled within my tmux setup. Not sure if this is the solution to your issue though.

[@TomKearns-t9p]

Thank you very much!

[@xbeast7585]

Great Video

[@openshores4288]

Im currently happy with using commandline and DiffView in nvim but gotta try this one haha

[@neniugrava]

If you like using the CLI for git you may enjoy the Fugitive vim plugin. The ":Git" command opens a buffer with the familiar "git status" output, but you can navigate around and use = to show the diff of a file, S to stage it, cc to create a new commit (opens a new buffer with the familiar contents), and dv opens a vertical diff of the file. You get commands like :Gvdiffsplit to open a vertical diff of the file (and you can diff with any branch or commit or tag via ":Gvdiffsplit some-branch:%", super useful). Oh, and the :Git command basically works exactly like git on the shell, so you can use all your familiar commands without having to learn anything new (but you can use nice vim things like % for current file, ctrl+r to get a file stored in a register, etc.). You can use all of your git aliases, too. I have a "git la" alias to output a nice graph log of all branches (fugitive just puts the output into a new split buffer). There are a million more features I don't know or use, but the fact that :Git just wraps the CLI tool really helped me pick up and learn gradually whenever I hit one of those "there has to be a better way" moments. I tried picking up lazygit months ago, but having to learn new things (even as intuitive and well-designed as it is) kept me from transitioning to it. I will definitely be trying lazygit again, though. It streamlines a lot of things that are cumbersome.

[@LeungWong]

Using lazygit plugin for neovim has some issue with escape. For instance when you open up lazygit with "lg" and then select a file, and press . Normally you need to press to go out from it, but you are unable to and the only way to get out from lg would be to exit with "q" or +c

[@andriesvanwyk3226]

[@viatrixhd]

Hi Josean, you got me into configuring my terminal and nvim for the first almost a year ago, thanks for that, my whole workflow and productivity skyrocketed. I also use lazygit since the beginning. Unfortunately a feature which is really missing for me is editing / resolving merge conflicts directly using nvim from lazy git. The workflow i mean would be: 1. Open lazy inside nvim 2. Select any of the files 3. Press e (for edit) 4. And open the file within the current nvim instance (Not opening a separate nvim instance. I tried multiple solutions i found online but none of them seemed to work, do you have some tips on how to get this working or somebody else from the community. I would love to get this to work

[@tednaaa]

thank you for the guide! I have small question, is there something like nvim cmp or treesitter inside lazygit?

[@ManuX]

This is great! Just one question. Could Delta work for the DIFFs?

[@danko95bgd]

Yes, there is an option in config to use delta and have the side by side preview for example if you want

[@ManuX]

@@danko95bgd thank you

[@tomaszgora4353]

For a long time I've been using lazygit in a float window of toggleterm. Had some nasty keymaps conflicts (especially escape) that I had to do some bending backwards to get around ;) Does this plugin integration behave better with regards to that?

[@joseanmartinez]

From my personal experience using the plugin, I haven’t had any issues with conflicts. But I think it might depend on your workflow and setup. I recommend you try it out and see how it goes!

[@PhilSherry]

You should do similar videos for lazynpm and lazydocker.

[@joseanmartinez]

Sounds good, will definitely keep it in mind. Thanks!

I tried to install the lazygit nvim plugin but it just wouldn't install at all. It's not even showing up on the Lazy dashboard of plugins. I guess I'm probably stuck with the GUI version. Otherwise excellent video as always. I guess the only tutorial left is integrating note-taking with neovim 😊.

[@themohmand]

How do you work with bare repos and manage worktrees using lazygit? This is one use case that I can’t figure out.

[@wild_shaman]

LazyGit integration into nvim has a problem - no option to navigate to selected file. It is possible to open in external editor(o), or run a neovim editor inside lazygit(e), but no way to open in your running neovim session. SO I literally have to open lazygit, find something I want to change, quit lazygit, open fzflua git changes and navigate to file from there. This is not how I want it to be.

[@guitardude1019]

You don’t need to exit neovim to open up lazygit. If you have lazyneovim installed the default to open lazy git is leader g G

[@GR3YS0RG4N1CS]

Heads up, you don't need to do "Ctrl-c" to leave lazygit, "q" also quits out

[@joseanmartinez]

Good to know, I thought “q” only worked with lazygit within Neovim, thanks!

Hi Josean, Thank you for your videos. They helped us a lot. I have one issue with my NVIM telescope. When I try to work with my projects, when I try NVIM with some projects, the telescope works well and shows all the files, but when I try different projects, the telescope doesn't work. So, I moved my files from a not-working folder to a working folder, and it works well. I think the issue is with folders. What can I do to solve this issue? Thank you ❤ Update: And also there's a could not parse linter output error in my code. Can you give me some help please.
