The skill leverages lazygit’s interactive staging panel where you can stage individual hunks or lines of code with a single keypress instead of editing patch files by hand. Interactive rebasing happens inside the UI — you reorder, squash, fixup, or drop commits by moving lines up and down, rather than editing a TODO file in a text editor. Merge conflicts display the conflicting sections side by side with one-key resolution choices.

Branch management covers creating, checking out, renaming, deleting, rebasing onto, and fast-forwarding branches. The commit panel supports conventional commit messages, amending, and signing. The stash panel lets you stash, pop, apply, and drop with visual feedback. Cherry-picking across branches is a matter of marking commits and applying them elsewhere.

lazygit integrates with custom commands and keybindings defined in a YAML configuration file, so agent workflows can extend its capabilities. It supports git worktrees, submodules, bisect operations, and reflog navigation. The tool outputs through a standard terminal, making it compatible with tmux, SSH sessions, and any environment that supports a terminal emulator.

Output includes real-time diff views, commit graphs, and status indicators. lazygit is distributed as a single binary with no dependencies beyond git itself. It is available via Homebrew, Scoop, pacman, apt, and direct GitHub releases for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
