alt Hacker NewsI currently have a TUI addiction. Each time I want something to be easier, I open claude-code and ask for a TUI. Now I have a git worktree manager where I can add/rebase/delete. As TUI library I use Textual which claude handles quite well, especially as it can test-run quite some Python code.

how do you trust the code claude wrote? don't you get anxiety "what if there's an error in tui code and it would mess up my git repo"?
In the case of Git, I can warmly recommend Magit as a TUI. Not only does it make frequent operations easier and rare operations doable -- it also teaches you Git!
I have a draft here about one aspect of Magit I enjoy: https://entropicthoughts.com/rebasing-in-magit
The amount of little tools I'm creating for myself is incredible, 4.6 seems like it can properly one/two shot it now without my attention.
Did you open source that one? I was thinking of this exact same thing but wanted to think a little about how to share deps, i.e. if I do quick worktree to try a branch I don't wanna npm i that takes forever.
Also, if you share it with me, there's obviously no expectations, even it's a half backed vibecoded mess.
What are some examples of useful TUI you made? I'm generally opposed to the concept
That sounds like a complete waste of time and tokens to me, what is the benefit? So each time you do something, you let Claude one shot a tui? This seems like a waste of compute and your time
Tig is a nice and long-maintained git tui you might enjoy, then!
If nothing else maybe for inspiration
