Normie Git on CachyOS: a simple Git TUI for Linux

Join the discord: https://discord.gg/sUDGzEH9Ms A little support goes a long way! If you’d like to help me keep creating, you can do so at https://ko-fi.com/theblackdon 1 on 1 Linux Support! https://ko-fi.com/c/9696d0ab99 In this video, I take a look at Normie Git, a simple TUI app designed to make Git much easier to use on Linux. I’m running it here on CachyOS with BSPWM as my window manager, but the real focus is the workflow itself and how this can help newer Linux users handle Git without needing to remember a pile of commands. I walk through how the app works for checking file changes, staging updates, writing commit messages, and syncing to a remote repo. I also show how it can be used for backing up dotfiles, tracking projects, and managing changes across platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg. For a lot of people, Git can feel more complicated than it needs to be, especially when all you really want to do is keep your configs, scripts, or project files safe and organised. That is where something like this starts to make a lot more sense. You still get the power of Git, but in a much simpler and more approachable way. If you use Linux, care about dotfiles, or just want an easier Git workflow, this video should give you a clear look at what Normie Git is trying to do. normie git, git tui, cachyos, bspwm, cachyos bspwm, linux git app, git for beginners, git tui app, terminal ui git, linux dotfiles, dotfile manager linux, git github gitlab codeberg, linux git workflow, simple git client linux, git backup linux, git for linux beginners, tui app linux, linux config backup, git project tracking, open source linux tools, beginner git linux, git on cachyos, bspwm linux, linux terminal tools 00:00 Intro to Normie Git 00:22 Why this Git TUI helps Linux beginners 00:56 Using Git for dotfiles and backups 02:03 Status and staging tabs 02:54 Commit tab: save changes properly 03:36 Sync tab: push, pull, fetch and stash 04:49 Real Git workflow demo 06:12 Verifying the pushed change on GitLab 06:51 Manage tab: login and Git config 07:21 Initialise a new repo 07:46 Final thoughts #Linux #Git #TUI #CachyOS #BSPWM #OpenSource #GitHub #GitLab #Codeberg #Dotfiles #LinuxTools #Terminal #FOSS #LinuxApps #GitForBeginners Repo: https://gitlab.com/theblackdon/normie-git
