Lazygit Installation

Windows Installation

If you are using wsl with ubuntu or arch, you can refer to official website.

If you are using windows directly, run the following command in your powershell

$ winget install -e --id=JesseDuffield.lazygit

Then restart powershell and then you can call lazygit by running lazygit in powershell.

If you have oh-my-posh installed, you can set an alias for lazygit. If you don't have oh-my-posh, you can simply skip the following part.

To set alias for lazygit, you can type the command to edit the profile of powershell.

If you haven't edit $PROFILE before, you need run commands below:

if (!(Test-Path -Path $PROFILE)) {
  New-Item -ItemType File -Path $PROFILE -Force
}

$ notepad $PROFILE

Then add the content to the profile.

$ New-Alias -Name lg -Value lazygit

You can use following command to source the new profile and then you can use lg to call the lazygit.

$ . $PROFILE

For another way, you can download the package and install it -> https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/releases

To call lazygit, you need copy the full path of lazygit.exe or you can add it to the PATH(for reference -> https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/previous-versions/office/developer/sharepoint-2010/ee537574(v=office.14)).

$ brew install lazygit

Similarly, add the following content to your ~/.zshrc with command and source it.

$ echo "alias lg='lazygit'" >> ~/.zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc

Use package manager or refer to the official website.

Open your terminal and cd into a git repository. Then run lazygit, if a TUI surface is generated, it is installed properly.

For Lazygit users, one single push takes about 10 seconds.

For command line users, one single push takes about 30 seconds or longer.
