For Ubuntu and derivatives It is not available with APT, the best option is probably to compile from source

cargo install gitui

On MacOS

brew install gitui

Setup with Fish

If you have another shell like Bash, please replace (ssh-agent -c) by "$(ssh-agent -s)" in the following notes.

To make Gitui access push and pull operations, your SSH key used for authentication must be available.

If you have a passphrase, you have to enter these lines in your config.fish to start the SSH agent and add your SSH key. The passphrase will be asked once everytime your Fish is starting.

eval (ssh-agent -c) &>/dev/null
ssh-add

If that's annoying you can choose to run ssh-add manually when needed instead of at each Fish start. If you want to remove your passphrase you can run ssh-keygen -p.

If you don't have a passphrase on your key, just enter these 2 lines in your config.fish.

eval (ssh-agent -c) &>/dev/null
ssh-add &>/dev/null
