Magit must be one of the best software tools ever written.

I sorely missed it when I had to use IntelliJ for a few projects, so I wrote a TUI tool like Magit that can be used inside the console window of most IDEs like IntelliJ etc.

Still haven't gotten around to releasing it properly, but it's easy to setup and works well enough to be a working MVP.

Would the need for a pure terminal magit be resolved by the fact that Emacs can run in the terminal? [1] seems to have a solution to obtain a fast starting subset of Emacs and start into magit-status directly.

    emacs -Q -nw --load magit-init.el --eval '(progn (magit-status) (delete-other-windows)'
Would this work in IDE consoles?

Thanks, it should! Will try it out!
I usually always have Emacs up and even if I'm in vscode or intellij I use magit in Emacs for all got things.
You haven't touched its core code for two years, what happened? Gave it up?
Like the sibling comment says, I don't use IntelliJ much anymore. Willing to manage this repo if people are interested, though.
He/she's no longer using IntelliJ.
Brilliant!
