Froggit: Git Without the Headache

 If you use Git regularly but still find yourself Googling commands or fixing mistakes after a rushed git rebase, Froggit might be exactly what you need.

Froggit is a free, open‑source terminal user interface (TUI) tool that makes Git version control more approachable and less error‑prone. Instead of remembering dozens of commands and flags, you interact with Git through a clean, keyboard‑driven interface right inside your terminal.

Why Froggit?

Git is powerful, but its command syntax can be intimidating—especially when switching branches, resolving conflicts, or editing commits. Froggit simplifies these workflows by:

  • Presenting common Git actions in a clear, visual layout
  • Reducing the need to memorize complex commands
  • Helping you understand what’s happening before you execute changes

You still get the speed and scriptability of the terminal—just without the constant context switching or fear of messing things up.

Built for Developers Who Live in the Terminal

Unlike full GUI Git clients, Froggit stays true to terminal workflows. It fits naturally into your development setup, whether you’re working over SSH, inside tmux, or on a remote server. Everything is keyboard-focused, fast, and distraction-free.

Open Source and Free

Froggit is hosted on GitHub and completely free to use. Being open source means you can inspect the code, customize it, or even contribute improvements back to the community.
