Magit is one of the "killer apps" of emacs, which one might miss when using a different editor. Helix editor in my case.
gitu is a Git porelain offered in the form of a TUI app with keybindings similar to magit. It's still in active development. I've installed it using cargo for now. https://github.com/altsem/gitu
@gregorni I just found out about #helixeditor and will give it a try. Seems a little more accessible than #vim#neovim
What are your thoughts on helix? Especially in comparison to neovim?
Okay, so I‘ve used #vim for a while and recently started using #HelixEditor not only for text editing, but also for #Java and #nix development. It‘s still not the same as using a full IDE such as #IntelliJ. But I love how snappy terminal based editing feels… so what’s next? Should I look into #emacs? Found an introduction video on YouTube that‘s just 1h 39min 😅
Ok, now that i'm spending more time in the #terminal for #HelixEditor, i'm also checking out things like #yazi and realizing the default #gnome terminal is OKAY, but lacking some features.
What #linux terminal app do y'all use? Kitty? Foot? there are many
Im on week 2 of working with #HelixEditor and while I do like it alot more than vim, it still feels painful to work on my PHP project. All the modes, navigating files, lack of a tree.
It makes the hard things easy, and the easy things hard.
Seems like a great editor, but seems folding isn't there. How do you navigate bigger files with lots of functions where you really want to collapse them down to the definitions?
Should I be shooting for a diff way of working? Seems folding is a bit out of fashion?
If you are not a Helix user, ignore this post — just some configuration gibberish. If you are a Helix fan, save yourself a hassle and copy/pasta 🍝 this one!
