Hi everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a side project called Froggit, a Git client with a TUI (text-based UI), built entirely in Go. The idea came from helping a few friends who were new to Git and found the CLI intimidating. I wanted to build something that felt approachable and intuitive—without needing to memorize dozens of commands.
Froggit isn’t meant to replace existing tools like LazyGit or IDE plugins. In fact, I use LazyGit daily and really admire what it offers. Froggit is more of a personal learning journey and a stepping stone for those starting out. Think of it as a minimal Git interface that gives you a visual feel for what’s happening under the hood, right from the terminal.
That said, I’m aiming to keep improving it. It’s still in development, but already supports things like staging/unstaging, commits, branch switching, and more. Some features requested by the community (like git log, Vim keybindings, and merge diffs) are already on the roadmap.
If you’re learning Go or just curious about TUI development, feel free to check it out. I’d love your feedback, suggestions, or even critiques. And if it helps someone out there, that’s already a win.

Go Developers

A developer created Froggit, a beginner-friendly Git client with a text-based user interface built in Go. The tool aims to make Git more approachable for newcomers who find the command line intimidating, offering visual feedback for Git operations like staging, commits, and branch switching. While still in development, it serves as both a learning project and an alternative to more complex Git tools.

Good one thank you for go community

But you could replace exec calls with Go-git and you can enhance the documentation
