A terminal-native Git workspace manager built for modern development workflows.
ingit focuses on:
- fast repository navigation
- structured commit planning
- multi-repository management
- branch exploration
- terminal-first workflows
- IDE integration
The goal is simple: make working with Git faster and less disruptive without replacing Git itself.
Git CLI is powerful, but large projects introduce a different set of problems:
- multiple repositories
- many active branches
- large mixed commits
- rapid iteration
- terminal switching
- manually reorganizing changes
ingit is built around those workflows.
Instead of constantly jumping between terminals, editors, and Git commands, the idea is to keep everything accessible from a single terminal workspace.
The project is especially useful for:
- mono repositories
- microservice environments
- terminal-heavy workflows
- tiling window manager setups
- remote development
- SSH sessions
Manage multiple repositories from one interface.
Useful for:
- mono repositories
- service-based architectures
- infrastructure repositories
- backend/frontend splits
Fast commit and push flow for the current branch.
Designed for minimal interaction:
- open
- enter commit message
- push
The planner allows large changes to be reorganized before committing.
Files can be:
- grouped into separate plans
- assigned to different branches
- committed independently
- executed sequentially
Repository state is not modified until execution.
This makes it possible to safely restructure work after development has already happened.
The surgery mode allows large changes to single file to be split into multiple commits. The idea is to have almost the same control as plans but on a file level.
Files can be:
- grouped into separate commit section
- each commit section has it's own dedicated commit message
- committed independently
- executed sequentially
Repository state is not modified until execution.
This makes it possible to safely restructure work after development has already happened.
Browse:
- local branches
- remote branches
- commit history
- repository contents
Switch, merge, and delete branches directly from the TUI.
If only one repository exists, repository management panels are automatically removed from the interface.
Built for:
- terminal users
- keyboard navigation
- i3/sway users
- remote environments
- editor terminal workflows
ingit works anywhere a terminal can be launched.
Included examples:
- VS Code
- VSCodium
- i3
Additional integrations can be added easily.

ingit is not trying to replace Git.
It exists to reduce friction around Git workflows.
The focus is:
- fast commits
- branch organization
- repository visibility
- terminal workflows
- minimal context switching
Pull requests, fixes, and workflow improvements are welcome.
If you build an integration for another editor or environment, feel free to add it.
