The commit workflow was what kept me locked in to the ecosystem for so long. LazyGit was so good that it convinced me I didn’t need JetBrains anymore. If you love the workflow with JB for commits check out LazyGit. It’s a TUI so you can use it in any editor without much friction.
- notpushkin 9mo agoOr if you prefer a GUI (still separate app, so works anywhere, too): https://git-cola.github.io/ https://git-cola.github.io/
- shunia_huang 9mo agoGraphical interface won't work well inside WSL, that's why I dropped my subscription on GitKraken and start using lazygit. lazygit simply works in almost any environment, and it works extremely well even if you are not into terminal stuff.
- notpushkin 9mo agoYeah, that’s the power of TUI. I would probably give it a go, too, but Git Cola works for me on Linux and Mac without too many issues. (By “works anywhere”, I meant you can use it with any IDE or editor, or just run it from terminal, though it is cross-platform and should work on Windows, just not sure how well it would play with WSL.)
- wkat4242 9mo agoYeah I really wish VSCode had a TUI option :( That would be so useful and so much more performant
- _virtu 9mo agoWhat’s stopping you from using it in the terminal view of VSCode? Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your comment so please forgive me if I am. Maybe you’re saying that you wish VSCose itself was a TUI?
- wkat4242 9mo agoYes the latter, that it did have a TUI option for its interface.
- notpushkin 9mo agoI think I’ve seen a project running vscode as a server (?) and rendering it in terminal, but I can’t find it now. There’s a lot of decent TUI editors nowadays though, and with LSP they’re pretty on-par with vscode. Maybe try Micro? https://micro-editor.github.io/ https://micro-editor.github.io/
- tracker1 9mo agoA TUI editor with a lot of the features of VS Code could be pretty cool... Basically a relatively thin shell on the remote editor server.
- ffsm8 9mo agoReally? While there its certainly slightly annoying because they have the "double menu bar" if they use a non-standard one like the jetbrains ides do... I feel like wsl gui support has essentially become a "solved issue" for a while now.
- shunia_huang 9mo agoYes and no, GitKraken actually have a graphical interface for WSL (or Linux generally), but it is barely usable as the WSL-g does not really work well. It's blurry for Hi-Res screen and the performance is like hell. I would never try running any graphical stuff in WSL anymore, not worth it. VMWare with a graphical installation of any Linux system would be a preferred choice as I'm testing lately.
- Datagenerator 9mo agoOr Proxmox or just virt-manager
- notpushkin 9mo agoHmmm, is there a native virt-manager build on Windows? Though I suppose running it in WSL and connecting with an external SPICE client would work just as well. (I’m wondering if there’s a way to just run SPICE server in WSL.)
- gizzlon 9mo agoJust found LazyGit as well. it's amazing! Also like Sublime Merge, if you want a GUI (paid though)
- nikanj 9mo agoFortunately JB broke that addiction for my by first moving the commit dialog behind an option, and then removing it completely. If I have to learn a new workfrow, I might as well learn a new tool
- conradfr 9mo agoCurrently the plugin version still works but they made it clear it will be unmaintained in the future.
- KptMarchewa 9mo agoI'm kinda reading this with disbelief. Are there people whose primary use case for IDE is... git gui?
- midasz 9mo agoTo be fair, VS Code git implementation is really off-putting if you've used something good.
- KptMarchewa 9mo agoI have no idea about both. I just use git in terminal.
- enlyth 9mo agoPersonally I love it and find it very intuitive. It allows you to do stuff so much faster than having to type everything manually into the terminal. Also really enjoy the "Undo Last Commit" feature and how I can easily see all modified files at once and shuffle around stuff between the staging area.
- maccard 9mo agoThe parent is comparing it to, e.g. jetbrains git integration.
- jgalt212 9mo agoGit is just that bad, huh? The best backhanded endorsement of mercurial I've seen so far.
- KptMarchewa 9mo agoI've always had the opinion that people complaining about it are just holding it wrong.
- conradfr 9mo agoJetbrains' implementation is (was?) just that good, yes (combined with local history).
