history

Project history and usage

ec, short for easy-conflict, is a young terminal-native Git merge conflict resolver. Its history is short but package-relevant: it packages a familiar three-pane merge workflow as a small CLI/TUI that can be installed from Homebrew, npm, Nix, Go, or release binaries.

Project history

The public repository was created in January 2026 and describes ec as a 3-way terminal Git mergetool with optional Neovim integration. The README emphasizes diff3 base comparison, a no-argument conflicted-file picker, non-interactive modes for scripts or CI, and configuration as a Git mergetool.

Early releases moved quickly through the 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 series in February-March 2026, with v0.3.3 published in June 2026.

Adoption history

The upstream README documents Homebrew, npm, Nix, Go install, shell installer, AUR, and Windows binary installation paths. That is the adoption story so far: a new developer tool trying to meet users through common workstation package channels rather than only source builds.

How it is used

Typical usage is to run ec inside a Git repository with conflicts, or configure Git's mergetool command so Git passes BASE, LOCAL, REMOTE, and MERGED paths to ec. The README also documents Jujutsu merge-editor integration and non-interactive modes such as --check and --apply-all.

Why package nerds care

ec is interesting to package nerds because it is a modern, single-purpose terminal UI for an old Git pain point. It sits near lazygit, Neovim, Git mergetool, and Jujutsu workflows, so package availability matters more than a library API.

Timeline

2026: Public GitHub repository created.
2026: v0.1.x, v0.2.x, and v0.3.x releases published in the first half of the year.
2026: README documents Homebrew, npm, Nix, Go, AUR, and Windows install routes.

Related projects

Git mergetool, Jujutsu merge-editor, Neovim terminal buffers, and lazygit are the workflows ec explicitly targets or demonstrates.
Other terminal diff and merge tools occupy the same packaging neighborhood, but ec's README focuses on the Git/Jujutsu conflict-resolution path.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
