## What it is

lazygit is a full-screen terminal interface for Git. It shows your changed files, branches, commits and stashes in panels, and turns common jobs into single keys: stage a file or a single line, commit, push, switch branches, or reorder and squash commits in an interactive rebase.

## Why it's here

- **See everything at once.** Status, diff and history side by side.
- **Hard things made easy.** Partial staging, cherry-picks and rebases without memorizing commands.
- **Stays in the terminal.** Works over SSH and next to your editor.

## On CoreDesktop

lazygit is installed from pacman, and CoreDesktop adds the alias `lg` for it. Run it inside a repository:

```
lg
```

`update` keeps it current with the rest of the pacman packages.
