Lazygit is an alternative which worked great so far for me https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

I've used this non stop for months now, it's so good! You can get it from neovim as well as your git plugin and merge resolver if you don't want to use fugitive or something else. https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim

Gitui's README mentions that Lazygit freezes and sometimes crashes parsing large repos, taking the example of the linux repo, and reports that Gitui is more than twice as fast: https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui#3--benchmarks-top- https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui#3--benchmarks-top- At least for the stability issues, does this match your experience? I see others have mentioned tig here as well, I'd be curious to hear if they also find it somewhat slow and unstable. Gitui's linux benchmark lists it as being almost 11 times faster than tig.

  I use tig intensively and it does sometimes have little freezes etc but only on giant repos AND where the file system is slow / busy. Its a 2nd or 3rd order type problem to me. If you work all the time on that type of repo it might be more important.

  I use tig and with 200k commits, walking the log goes a bit wild so the trick is too just default to loading a maximum number of commits etc. There's a sample config in the repo on how to manage large repos

I'm a long time user and big fan of lazygit. It substantially increases my productivity for the most common tasks. I am a sole developer working on multiple web site projects. The design works very very well for me.

  Shoutout to lazydocker by the same author. One of my used apps

Just tried Lazygit and one thing that stands out is it is the first of these tools that offers some kind of support for submodules (like, I can select a submodule and then navigate into that context and back out again). It's great that all these options are becoming available and bringing ideas into the mix.
