Title: Anything similar to "LazyGit" but written in C/C++?
Post by: DiTBho on January 22, 2021, 07:29:28 pm

"LazyGit" is a very useful tool to manage "git". Unfortunately for me it's written in Go and I cannot compile.

Is there anything similar to it but written in C/C++?

Currently I am using "Tig"  :D

Not C/C++ but how about Rust ?

I was going to suggest `tig`, but why can't you compile or run one of the binaries provided for many operating systems?

There is no Go compiler for what I am trying to support.

Also I was thinking about a Go to C compiler for Linux, but contrary to my expectations, cross compiling to C would reduce Go's cross platform support, not improve it.

Not a good idea.
