LazyGit & Tmux: Elevate Your Workflow
When it comes to developer tools, there are a plethora of options available that can help streamline your workflow and make your life easier. Two such tools that have gained popularity in recent years are LazyGit and Tmux.
What is LazyGit?
LazyGit is a terminal-based GUI tool for managing Git repositories. It provides an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that allows you to view and interact with your repositories without having to remember all of the Git commands.
What is Tmux?
Tmux is a terminal multiplexer that allows you to create and manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window. This can be incredibly useful for split-screen workflows, allowing you to work on multiple tasks simultaneously without switching between different terminal windows.
How can LazyGit and Tmux enhance your workflow?
By combining LazyGit and Tmux, you can streamline your development process and increase your productivity. With LazyGit, you can easily manage your Git repositories without having to remember complex command-line syntax. Tmux, on the other hand, allows you to create multiple terminal sessions, making it easy to work on different tasks simultaneously.
Getting started with LazyGit and Tmux
To start using LazyGit, you can install it via Homebrew on macOS or use the pre-compiled binaries available for Linux and Windows. Once installed, you can launch LazyGit in your terminal and start managing your Git repositories with ease.
To use Tmux, you can install it using your package manager on most Linux distributions or use a tool like Cygwin on Windows. Once installed, you can create new Tmux sessions, split your terminal windows, and switch between different sessions with ease.
Conclusion
LazyGit and Tmux are powerful tools that can help elevate your workflow and make you a more efficient developer. By combining the two, you can streamline your development process, manage your Git repositories more effectively, and work on multiple tasks simultaneously. Give LazyGit and Tmux a try today and see how they can enhance your workflow!
I’m not too familiar with tmux, but for this specific case couldn’t you just open multiple tabs?
Honest question: why lazy git? What’s wrong with the CLI? I don’t know about y’all but I rarely need to commit specific files cause all changes are related to a specific thing, so they committed all at once. So a git add all and git diff is all I need. Am I missing something?
Cool tattoo! Is that a G or terminal pains managed by something like yabai?
I'm in the struggle of deciding how much to do with tmux. So far I'm just getting persistent sessions and some nice theming, but you make me wonder..
Man, if you had friends, I would definitely want to be one 👍
I just started using Lazygit anr have already gotten tired of closing nvim to open Lazygit to do something in it only to close it and go back to nvim, rinse, cycle, repeat. This sounds like a great use for tmux
I've added a shortcut to my nvim config to open a popup window with lazygit by pressing tg (super + terminal + git is how I think about it). Since I mainly use vim for editing my files it just makes everything easier xD
I use tmux primarily as it allows me to manage and restore sessions. Layzgit can be used from within nvim, i.e. if lazygit is installed and you use lazyvim it will automatically open lazygit within your nvim. Creating new window or panes on the fly when needed is of course a big plus as well and helps to focus on the task at hand, which can vary depending on the project (=session in my case)
A suggestion for your series that would be really helpful: tmux and nvim as a combo does not play nicely together on the alacritty terminal, could you do a short set up cheat sheet on getting them to work
bro don't know ALT+Tab exists.
Or have to make everything complicated, because I don't have work to done & to look cool !
Where is leader button
I just open multiple terminal windows, either tiling them or on separate tags (workspaces). even when i’m working without Xorg, I just log into several ttys and switch with alt and arrows
I have tabs in Konsole for that. So unless I'm coding in kmscon or getty, what is the benefit?
Does nvim have a strong refactor like jetbrain ide? I really need it
Does Lazygit automatically refresh? Or do you need to switch to the Lazygit window for it to pick up the recent changes?
Have you had a look at zellij?
i use fugitive in neovim for that. WIth <leader>gs fugitive shows me same info and i can stage and make commit fast
I love the new tattoo 😂
Did you really SFX a TMUX tattoo 🤣🤣
