It became one of the defining examples of a modern developer TUI: a package-manager-friendly binary that wraps a complex command-line tool in a discoverable keyboard interface. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created on May 19, 2018. Early release artifacts include v0.1.4 on August 7, 2018; the project later reached v0.20 in April 2020, v0.50.0 in January 2025, and v0.62.2 on June 4, 2026. ### Adoption history The README documents broad packaging coverage: Homebrew, MacPorts, Scoop, Arch, Fedora/RHEL-derived distributions, Solus, Debian/Ubuntu, Gentoo, openSUSE, NixOS, FreeBSD, Termux, Conda, Go, Chocolatey, Winget, and manual binaries. GitHub repository metadata recorded 79,894 stars on July 1, 2026, and the README included a large sponsor list, download badges, and active contributor links. ### How it is used lazygit focuses on everyday Git actions that are powerful but awkward at the raw CLI: staging individual lines, interactive rebase, cherry-pick, bisect, worktrees, commit graph navigation, custom commands, undo and redo through reflog-backed operations, and repository-local configuration. ### Why package nerds care lazygit matters because it changed expectations for package-installed Git helpers. Instead of another alias collection or shell prompt plugin, it ships as a single binary that can be installed from nearly every package ecosystem and used immediately in any repository. ### Timeline - 2018: Public GitHub repository created - 2018: v0.1.4 release published - 2020: v0.20 release published - 2025: v0.50.0 release published - 2026: v0.62.2 release published ### Related projects - Git is the underlying version-control system. lazydocker is Jesse Duffield's sibling TUI for Docker workflows, and both projects helped popularize the `lazy*` naming pattern for focused terminal interfaces. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
