Next to other posters, there's also LazyGit (https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit), and vimagit (https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit).

So yea, people are building it out of emacs!



On the lazygit repo readme an animation is shown with a single line commit prompt/dialog. Suspicious. Is there a way to expand that one-lined thing to enter more? So I looked up "multiline commit" in the issues. Several not solved but closed issues came up and multiline commit messages seem to still not be available. This would be an instant deal breaker for me, if I were trying to use lazygit. Commit messages are not bullet points or titles. In magit I can simply type in a new buffer as much as I want to.


In lazygit you can hit lowercase 'c' to bring up that one-line commit prompt, but you can also hit capital 'C' to open the commit message in your $EDITOR and write out a detailed commit message.


I have both but I found myself struggling to use vimagit over lazygit as it feel faster to work with.

Do you have any specific workflows that you prefer one over the other?
