# gitterm
terminal ui (tui) frontend for git written in rust

## motivation

I do most of my git usage in a terminal but i frequently found myself using git UIs for some use cases like: index/commit, diff, stash and log
Over the last 2 years my go to GUI tool for this was [fork](https://git-fork.com) because it was not bloated, snappy and free. Unfortunately the *free* aspect will change soon and so I decided to build a snappy simple terminal tool
