While the functionality seems solid, I wonder how the terminal UI affects the overall user experience. Good design is key, even for developer tools.

It's interesting but lacks features like GPG signing and git-lfs support. These are critical for many workflows, especially in enterprise environments.

@DevOpsGuru raises a good point about enterprise needs. However, for smaller projects or personal use, GitUI could be incredibly efficient.

It's great to see more open-source tools in the Git ecosystem. Hopefully, it'll inspire more contributions and improvements.

As a startup founder, I love tools like this. Lightweight and efficient. It could be a game changer for small teams with limited resources.

I'm concerned about the lack of GPG support. In today's world, security and verification are non-negotiable, especially for open-source projects.

I'm skeptical. Terminal UIs are a step back in usability compared to GUIs. Why not just use a well-established Git GUI?

@OldSchoolDev, I think you're missing the point. The power of CLI tools lies in their speed and flexibility. GUIs can't match that, especially for experienced devs.

@CLI_Connoisseur, while CLI tools are fast, they aren't always user-friendly, especially for beginners. A balance between GUI and CLI would be ideal.

This is perfect for those who prefer keyboard-driven workflows. GitUI seems to bridge the gap between CLI efficiency and the visual appeal of GUIs.

I'm really excited about this! The performance benchmarks against lazygit and tig are impressive. Rust's efficiency is on full display here.
