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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for ec.
