lazyfossil

A lazygit-inspired terminal UI for Fossil SCM.

Project goals

• Fast terminal workflow for Fossil checkouts
• Working tree and history browsing in one UI
• Commit subsets of files without a staging area
• Small, practical MVP first; polish later

Current features

• Fossil checkout detection
• Working tree file list
• Diff / details pane
• Timeline / history view
• Temporary commit selection with Space
• Commit selected files, current file, or all files
• Keyboard and mouse navigation

Commit flow

Fossil does not use a staging area. Instead, lazyfossil builds commit commands like:

fossil commit file1 file2 file3 -m "commit message"

Extra files are added automatically before commit when needed.

Roadmap

• Working tree MVP
