"github_readme_excerpt": "## It\u0027s Gitu! - A Git porcelain *outside* of Emacs\n[](https://github.com/altsem/gitu/actions/workflows/ci.yml)\n[](https://codecov.io/gh/altsem/gitu)\n\nA terminal user interface for Git. Inspired by Magit.\n\n\u003cimg style=\"width: 720px\" src=\"vhs/rec.gif\"/\u003e\n\n### Features\nGitu aims to implement many of the core features of Magit over time.\nIt should be familiar to any previous Magit users.\\\nHere\u0027s a list of so-far supported features:\n- **Staging/Unstaging** _(file, hunk, line)_ \n- **Showing** _(view commits / open EDITOR at line)_\n- **Branching** _(checkout, checkout new)_\n- **Committing** _(commit, amend, fixup)_\n- **Fetching**\n- **Logging** _(current, other)_\n- **Pulling / Pushing** _to/from configured upstream/pushDefault_\n- **Rebasing** _(elsewhere, abort, continue, autosquash, interactive)_\n- **Resetting** _(soft, mixed, hard)_\n- **Reverting** _(commit)_\n- **Stashing** _(save, pop, apply, drop)_\n\n### Keybinds\nKeybinds try mimic Magit, while staying Vim-like.\nA help-menu can be shown by pressing the `h` key, or by configuring `general.always_show_help.enabled = true`\n\n\n\u003cimg style=\"width: 720px\" src=\"vhs/help.png\"/\u003e\n\n### Configuration\nThe environment variables `VISUAL`, `EDITOR` or `GIT_EDITOR` (checked in this order) dictate which editor Gitu will open. This means that e. g. commit messages will be opened in the `GIT_EDITOR` by Git, but if the user wishes to do edits to the actual files in a different editor, `VISUAL` or `EDITOR` can be set accordingly.\n\nConfiguration is also loaded from:\n- Linux: `~/.config/gitu/config.toml`\n- macOS: `~/.config/gitu/config.toml`\n- Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Roaming\\gitu\\config.toml`\n\n, refer to the [default configuration](src/default_config.toml).\n\n### Installing Gitu\nFollow the install instructions: [Installing Gitu](docs/installing.md)\\\nOr install from your package manager:\n\n[!",
