Yeah, that’s the power of TUI. I would probably give it a go, too, but Git Cola works for me on Linux and Mac without too many issues.

(By “works anywhere”, I meant you can use it with any IDE or editor, or just run it from terminal, though it is cross-platform and should work on Windows, just not sure how well it would play with WSL.)

Yeah I really wish VSCode had a TUI option :( That would be so useful and so much more performant

What’s stopping you from using it in the terminal view of VSCode? Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your comment so please forgive me if I am.

Maybe you’re saying that you wish VSCose itself was a TUI?

Yes the latter, that it did have a TUI option for its interface.

I think I’ve seen a project running vscode as a server (?) and rendering it in terminal, but I can’t find it now.

There’s a lot of decent TUI editors nowadays though, and with LSP they’re pretty on-par with vscode. Maybe try Micro? https://micro-editor.github.io/

A TUI editor with a lot of the features of VS Code could be pretty cool... Basically a relatively thin shell on the remote editor server.
